Searsport Industrial Gets Local Control

First the new industries were installed and then the track was made operable in the computer. This allowed the dispatcher to throw the turnouts if needed for overflow, but wasn't good enough to allow operations. The next step in allowing the new industries to come on line was to get the new local control panel operable , so the YM could do the switching. This has now been done. the final step will be to change out the modified waybills to match the new industries

Not only is there local control for the new industries. The Searsport YM will be glad to know that four yard tracks were lengthened 1 to 1 1/2 car lengths, which should help, if just a little, in the yard. This was all there was room for.
