Border Downs Operation Session 3 August 2023
Sunday PM
Slight crew change as Steve was absent
Geoff - master of all thingsRay at Border Downs ( & he suggested earlier in the night to Craig & me, that his position was the most important job....)
& the workers (without them Ray would having nothing to do but still get his fat pay cheque) being Reg, Tony, Craig & the scribe.
] trying to show he is working......
Being Sunday PM, it was relativity quiet, Tony had the only shunting - only two problems that I am aware of.
First train to Yumali from Riverbend had loco derail - reason . unknown
Then a big train in the helix decided to split apart... a good reason why the D&S will not get a helix built... :-P
But outside of that, nothing much to talk about EXCEPT Tony & his "jokes" but to his credit, he did have some entertaining stories about Police Life at Pt Augusta & the Mayor at the time Joy Baluch.
The Johnny Award for the night must go to the Boss who sent a goods train into the passenger sidings at Riverbend !!!
I have the feeling that I may have let myself open my mouth at the wrong time as I may cop it if things go pear shaped at the D&S if the Dispatcher stuffs up... :-P
Next session is planned for August 17 with the following famous people:-
Geoff, Steve, Ray, Tony, Craig & myself.
