Chairman’s Message At Saturday’s (January 10) construction session,
we sat down with a group of DCC experts over a lunch of chili, corn
bread and apple pie, and mapped out a strategy for the DCC installation.
During the previous week, substantial progress was made with the wiring.
Just before lunch, we were able to run the first P&E train with
DCC on the upper level—another milestone (see below). It is critical
that we install the DCC and test it thoroughly before we do much else--including
backdrop painting, track ballasting, scenery, and so on. I expect DCC
will be completed over the next 2-4 weeks. --Stan A P&E SD9, controlled by DCC, pulls the company
business car, “Medford” over the Cascade Summit toward Butte
Falls. P&E engineers flawlessly made the switch from DC to DCC.
