Awesome. Been wanting to see Proviso operations for a while. Did not realise until 15 mins ago you had already done one!
Daryl , once again excellent video. The narration and the board detailing the movements really holds the interest in the "why" of this video. So often we watch train movements and that's it..we watch train movements and see what happens. The "why" adds so much more to the viewing enjoyment. Thank you for doing these ops videos.
Thank you for the explanation of the yard work and how the cars are clarified.
Love the videos. Would also love to see more people doing these with you.
Nice job, always enjoy your yard ops videos that build and sort trains. Thanks for sharing!
DARYL, as usual an outstanding ops video......Thanks!
Great video on yard ops. I can see why you have at least 3 people doing that. Thanks for sharing. Ken
Love this. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see the next one.
Thanks Daryl - Nice Video! On your old first railway that you started initially doing YT video's for, you did a Local train video - still love that one. Be nice to see a local running on this layout. In UK we get a lot of hub-2-hub trains, but not - because truks can run them more effectively over such short distances - locals these days. Thanks!
Another great video. I'm glad you went through it in real time vice speeding up the video, learned a lot more that way as I'm in the process of designing my main yard and I picked up a few tips and ideas from your operations. Thx
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
I am now watching this video. I have seen your other videos as well. I’m an N scaler myself which is in the process of getting my layout started. I have made 2 railroad water towers & a town water tower from scratch. I used 2 empty skin Creme containers, masking tape, Elmer’s glue & bue & yellow construction paper for the town water tower. The 2 railroad water towers I made from half inch dowels & empty Progresso soup cans for the railroad water towers & flex straws for the water spouts. I’ll be making ladders for them & will paint them once I fashion a roof for the water towers. I’m also scratch building a passenger train station & covered walkway along the tracks, making it look as closely as I can make like the Santa Barbara Amtrak station for my Pacific West Coast Railroad. I already have 2 passenger trains, a Kato N scale Amtrak Superliner that is the Coast Starlight & the steam powered Southern Pacific Morning Daylight which is a Kato set, that is my excursion train. My setup I’m in the process of setting up is to cover from the San Diego Metro area all the way up to Vancouver,BC,Canada.
Glad you are enjoying the "World's Greatest Hobby" :)
Great video, love this series your doing!
Un sueño...Felicitaciones desde Chile...
I love the look of your yard. I don't suppose you've got a detailed track plan with labels for the yard itself? I saw you posted toyour blog an overall schematic but I'd love to see something zoomed in to the schematic of the yard.
Not yet!
Yes, the push-pull trains have the locomotive facing out from the station. If it was the other way, you would be wasting platform space, and diesel fumes and noise right at the station lobby
you got the METRA right Daryl according to Dan at the Utah State Railroad Museum it is Cab Car/Cab Locomotive coming in to Union Station Locomotive coming out to Delkob or in your case Wheaton. So you go that right only thing wrong is METRA uses EMD F40s they are starting to convert them to MP36s but MP36s are used the North Line they are not used on the Geneva Sub except in several sections where METRA branches off to serve the other the stations in their network.
Would love to see your yard layout because I use to visit family in elmhurst Illinois and want to model the Chicago northwest line from Chicago to elmhurst Illinois on my layout
Just posted it to my blog at genevasub.blogspot.com
Daryl, Nicely done, 2 yard crews working in unison can really get trains broken down and resorted in quick time. I like the way you make use of the white board to keep track of the trains and when they are due to depart.. Does the Computer issue a new print out for the yard crew to sort the cars every day. Also once a train is made up do you have to tell the computer the make up of the train, so it knows what the trains consist is and where the train is going or coming from? Many Thanks, Cheers, Chris Perry.
Very nice vid as always. Two questions: 1. How do you remember which trains are in the arrival/departure tracks? 2. Is it an optical illusion or does the mainline dip lower along the yard?
At one point he shows a board with magnetic bars that have the symbols on them. He puts them on the appropriate line for the track it's on.
CP368 Productions Ya, but I didn’t see a place representing the arrival and departure tracks. I’ll have to watch again maybe I missed it.
Awesome vid Daryl! Question: what is the length and width of the Rochelle area of the layout? thank you!

@@EvanstonSub So about 18 to 20' long for that section?
@@crrcoal Its actually 2' 10" X 23', That's not including the curve past Delmonte at the west end of the town. Also, you should know that Global 3 is actual with in the city limits of Rochelle.
@@EvanstonSub Thanks Daryl!
That's a lot of moves. Are you sure the UP guys are are smarter than the NS guys?
Video would be three hours long with NS crew.
Not knowing that SOO is Canadian Pacific, you just proved that UP people are not the most on the ball.
I’ m no stranger to switching scales over the years but I don’t know what your reason is, comparing the two scales, you should have stayed with the n-scale. So much more going for it. But that’s my opinion and if your happy, that’s all that matters.Too late now. Enjoy. 👽
Correct. Your statement should be "I would have stayed with N scale" instead of "you should have stayed with the n-scale."
