10 operators came to run trains on the OWNRy last Saturday, running a total of 24 trains during a 6 hour session (not including beans). We didn't have a dispatcher so ran ABS. The engines I had installed speed tables in seemed to run better than before.

The Northcoast Limited tours the layout around the Columbia River Bluffs.
Greg is moving an SP&S freight through the tunnel westbound to Portland from Pasco.
Mark, the Portland yardmaster switches a line of arrival on the West yard lead. Soon after, we lost the west end classification switches so he finished his work on the east end. Glad we had double ended yards.
Frank drives the Shasta Daylight across the Willamette River bridge northbound to Portland then on around the layout for a nice little tour.
Tom works with Seattle yardmaster, Mitch, to set out and pick up cars. All trains stayed on the layout and most stayed on the tracks, too!!
Everyone looks busy in the main layout room. Portland yard is on the right and Pasco yard is on the right.
Next operating session is April 14
