“Proto ops” (Prototypical operation) sessions focus on moving freight realistically using car cards and waybills.
Jobs include yardmaster, yard switcher, local crew, and road crew, and train movements on the standard gauge layout are controlled using CTC signals and a dispatcher.
These sessions on the standard gauge layout are held on the first Friday evening of every month starting at 7:00pm, and sessions on the narrow gauge layout are held occasionally throughout the year.
