[CBQ] Video: Coal Operations on the C&S Ry

["BCOJim via groups.io" <bcojim=comcast.net@groups.io>]

Here is the latest operations-oriented video on the HO scale Colorado & Southern Ry, “Coal Train”, episode 12.

The C&S Ry Northern Division runs out-and-back trains to service local coal mines every day. These "coal turns" run as Extras, dodging all the scheduled trains as they switch their cars out on the Main.

 

Today we are called for the Valmont Turn, a daily mine run that delivers coal to the Valmont Power Plant. Enjoy the action as we load our hoppers at Coalton, weigh them out in Louisville, and swap them for empties at Valmont. Eight hoppers loaded, six trains met, with zero flagmen lost...

 

This eventful five hour run can take much longer. It's easy to see why it's a favorite with C&S crews.

 

I hope you enjoy it!
