This was an interesting session. Bill offered to take on the dispatcher's job again and this time stayed in the dispatcher's office during most of the session doing an excellent job. Mike Kipps was assigned to the yard master position in White Hall and was heard early on that they had plenty of time. That was the kiss of death! Wayland allowed #11 to creep out of Thorny Point and across the RF&P. The engine assigned to #110 stopped running at Hood blocking the west end switch. A call was placed to the dispatcher to send a replacement engine but before that engine could leave White Hall the problem engine resumed operation and finished its duties with #110/110extra. Philip Taylor put an engine in the White Hall turntable pit and Dick had several issues with the Broadway Turn. Even though the final trains ran over three hours late everyone seemed to have fun and that is the key.
