The 157th session was an intense session. We had CEO moves, Kipper moves, MOW extras, engine relocations from Thorny Point to White Hall and the CEO decided to stay over night at Broadway which caused a lengthy discussion about how to deal with scheduled train 121 the next morning and the CEO's train. Adding to all of that the Hood Turn engineer decided to randomly spot cars causing the return of the first Hood Turn back to White Hall for rework. This session was full of issues. The layout ran well and as usual the apprentice out shined all of the FQOs. No issues were encountered with the box cab in Thorny Point further pointing to a throttle problem during the last session. Some changes needed to the Train Order system were noted and will be made before the next session. Given everything that occurred I think the session went well.
