Long Train Running on the HO Scale Colorado & Southern Ry - Ep 5

Number 46 is a non-clearing train -- too long to fit in any siding.  Worse, No. 46 is a low priority freight, with a crack passenger train and high priority freight train both headed its way.  With night falling, No. 46's train crew has no place to hide.

Luckily, the Dispatcher has a plan.  And a simple one at that.  Ride along with train crewmen as they execute the Dispatcher's train orders that keep the Colorado & Southern Ry. Northern Division running smoothly.

In 1958, the Colorado & Southern Railway used time tables, train orders, and operating rules to move trains up and down the Colorado Front Range.  The operating crew of the C&S Ry Northern Division model railroad replicates this system on the layout.  This is a sample of their efforts.
