MidCen Dispatcher 2, Beta2

MidCen Dispatcher 2, a session for the Midwest Central route, Release 3 Beta2, <kuid2:87783:1346:1> October 2008.

This is a free-form railroading scenario, where you assume the role of dispatcher. As such, it will be up to you to plan and execute the day's activities. You'll start with a with a list of cargo to be moved, where to pick it up and where to take it. To do that, you have a collection of available cars, motive power and train crew. It will up to you to plan your consists, assign drivers to them and designate the routes they take. Expect to deal with other traffic, of course, both other MidCen trains and 'foreign' trains from Amtrak, BNSF and Union Pacific, some of which will be delivering additional loads for you to deal with.

Okay, Dispatcher, mount up your crew people and get 'em going. And, as always, let's keep it safe out there.

Difficulty: This a complex session and will require 90 minutes or more to play. Experienced dispatchers will find this session a challenge. New dispatchers are urged to take it one or two tasks at time and not worry about the clock.

Visit the operations page at the MidCen website to to get your operating instructions for this session...you'll be lost without them. Midwest Central is a big map--more than 50 miles--so be sure to also download the printable system map so you can find your way around the route. http://trains.0catch.com.
