Gonna be a bad night.
Looked at the computer to see how my night will go and it isnt look good so far. Trains backed up all the way from 1st shift for rail outage. Once they started going the first 2 westbounds stalled the hill. They should of taken a push. Now everything from 1st and 2nd shift is backed up. Im counting 8 trains streteched between 3 sidings eastbound with 4 coming at them. I know it doesnt sound that bad but sidings arent that big, xings in all but one of them and its track warrant territory. Maybe the terminal will take a handful and ease the pain.

Sounds suspiciously like the B-line between Manassas and Front Royal?

Not the B-line nor the TRRA and the extra board was already exausted. Before I got in 1 train had already stalled the hill, after he was pulled up the next one came and got a knuckle in the same spot. I came in as he was moving and then went into emergency again on top of the hill. After 2 eastbounds get by it all the 3rd westbound comes up and stalls in the same place. At least everyone made it in with a little time to spare.
