Operating Session 40
Coquihalla Valley RailwaySession #40 Notes and Thanks
Operating Session number 40 May 26 2023 Railway Modellers Meet Friday afternoon. Employee timetable 103
Due to startup considerations – photography during the session was rather erratic. If other participants have some photos to share, I would be happy to include them in this record.
Several crews returned to terminal “Just In Time” unfortunately some crews were left out on the road with one crew was left bunking in the Nicola Pub. Because of the recent COVID Pandemic the Coquihalla Valley Railway had been embargoed and had been collecting dust for the past three years. We were delighted that the layout remained mostly working as built in spite of the long Hiatus.
Special Thanks to my wife Sharon, and the home crew and members of our Local Saturday Morning Group who have helped to make this session possible both during the preparation time and on the day of operations.
