Tuesday December 1, 2009 Lethbridge, Alberta

10:30 am

I am confused, again.

I thought I noticed a problem during the last session with the reversing loop around the Jasper Yard. Diesel locomotive CN7847, an Alco RS-3 unit, was shorting out while travelling out of the reversing loop behind the Jasper Yard. Yet all other movements in and out of the loop seemed to work fine.

This morning I decided to test the loop with another locomotive, CN1720, a GP7 unit. Everything worked fine. It moved in and out of the loop in both directions. I then replaced the unit with CN7847 and it shorted out again at the same location as before. However after that short I was unable to get my remote handheld cab to communicate with anything - either locomotives or switches. Now to go downstairs and try again.
