    Daryl, What a nice surprise a mid- week video. I love the way the railways shunt the these very long Inter-modal trains around. As well as being stopped and performing brake test etc. the stack train that just arrived will have a complete inspection before being given the all clear to proceed. The average down time can be 90 mins. to 2 1/2 hrs.. Sometimes longer and even longer again if a loco has blown a Turbo-charger and the train has limped into the Intermodal Yard. Cheers, Chris Perry.

    Daryl, these videos that you are now doing are excellent. All the previous months prior to retirement were an appetizer to the narration that you are now doing. The videos have always been excellent but, hearing the purpose makes your layout even more interesting seeing how close you have followed the prototype showing what has been important to you in building it. Very well planned and executed. Looking forward to your future installments. Tom

    Daryl, your layout is amazing! You have a way to bring out the full potential of N scale. Every time I watch one of your videos, I regret switching scales!!! Please keep these operation videos coming!

    Another great video of this amazing layout. Great to see someone run n scale trains at more prototypical speeds. Enjoyed the description of your operations. Global One is coming along nicely, I see the new fencing being installed. Thx for sharing Daryl

    This is extremely interesting to a chap building a UP (HO) pike in Scotland as visiting the real thing is a little tricky ! My pike is set on the LASL (visible portion nroth of the Las Vegas strip to Apex) but many things UP are UP all over. Great work, Daryl - an inspiration for sure !

    Love your layout. One thing that don't look prototypical to me. Your intermodal containers
    are always grouped together with the same shipping carriers. If you look at any intermodal
    train you will see that the consist might have two or three the same but most containers
    are mixed. One exception might be J B Hunt who sometimes has 90% of a trains containers.

    • @EvanstonSub
      @EvanstonSub  5 років тому

      Good observation. Main reason I have them grouped is that they are purchased that way. I'll have to look at regrouping them. However, just like JB Hunt on the BNSF, the UP trains that I observed while living in Rochelle for 17 years is that there were lots of grouping of Pacer, KLine, Hub Groups, APL, etc.

    Always great to see the layout! I'm excited for more operations videos. I was also wondering if you have any plans (or desire?) to add the Canadian Pacific crossing with the UP in Clinton? Even as an unpowered track, it seems like a pretty important detail for that city.

    • @EvanstonSub

      I did not note the CP crossing when I was researching Clinton. How close is the crossing to the river?

      @@thomasneumiller2858 I did see that trackage. However, when I was there it appeared to be a small regional line. The motive power used on the trackage was not CP. I don't remember what it was. I'll have to take a look at my pictures from Clinton.

      Union Pacific Geneva Subdivision Depending on how long ago you visited, it could have been back when the line was owned by Iowa Chicago and Eastern, a former DM&E affiliate, before both were purchased by CP. it’s definitely CP now! There’s a lot of good videos of the area (and other parts of northern Illinois and eastern Iowa) on a UA-cam channel by Jeff Toft.

      @@thomasneumiller2858 The last time I was there was November 2011. It was the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern. I may be able to put the track in and have the line run behind some trees. Its not a crossing, but just a turnout. Maybe park a IC&E loco on the tracks.

      We are both wrong. They are Fox Valley ES44AC. You can tell they are Fox Valley by the safety stripes painted on the steps. Kato does not include that detail on their locomotives.

      Mostly Micro Trains (N scale Kadee). However, there are other brands mixed in. I do not change out other brands unless they cause problems. Mostly, they are compatible.

      The Fox River is in the Suburbs. The wall between Wheaton and Rochelle basically divides the layout between the suburbs and north central IL. The river is just outside of Rochelle, not just outside of Wheaton. The Rock River is a north central IL river and more appropriate for this location.

    Is there a reason you perfectly block your containers? At G3, did you perform a primary or secondary securement on the train when you pulled the power off? Take a look at DigcomDesigns containers, $5.95 for a pdf versus $8-$10 a piece for the plastic ones. For N Scale, the Digcom containers look great and you have a huge variety. www.digcomdesigns.com
    Your 10 minutes, in reality could be hours, depending on how long the Class 1 Air Test takes. Good thing you backed behind the signal (400 feet) to wait for the dispatcher to light you up.
    Great looking layout, blown away by your CTC system

    • @EvanstonSub
      @EvanstonSub  5 років тому

      Its just been my experience while train watching in Rochelle over the 17 years we lived there that containers seemed to ship in groups. There are a few well cars sets with a mixture of containers. I've seen the Digcom containers. They are definitely a good option. Good idea about waiting for securement of the train before pulling off power. The 10 minutes simulates the delay. I'm not waiting hours, I want to run trains :) !
