This session is for Urban IndustRail 8a. All items of rolling stock are on the Download Station and will be installed automatically when the session is downloaded.
You will be in charge of the Invercargill Limited, the limited stop passenger train from Hyde to Invercargill. You have a choice of crewing either a diesel or a steam locomotive. It will give you a chance to let that S-class steam locomotive show its paces, or let you open that diesel locomotive up to notch 8 and let it run.
It is getting towards the end of your shift. You and Joe bought a roadside freight north from Picton and are servicing the locomotive at the Picton Classification. The return trip will be your final turn before signing off. You check the orders you have just received from the Dispatcher:
