NC Railrun 2001 Session 1.

We survived the first round of the NC Railrun 2011.
I had an issue with a panel dying in the middle of the last regular session . I made a few changes before this session and the problem did not return. I had a sensor go bad in Rockland, so one of the mainlines is giving a false occupancy. I'll see if it can be fixed before Round 2, if not the dispatcher will have to work around it.
There were a few other minor details some fixed on the spot and some we'll have to live with this weekend.
All in all things went well. We went 12 hrs. into a 24 hr. schedule at a 4:1 ratio. The trains were slightly behind schedule. SK-1 will need to get its schedule adjusted. It always seemed to run way behind, which then causes a pile up at Searsport when it returns.
Finally the first Wood Job got its chance to run. It made it as far as Searsport when time ran out.
