Pacific & Eastern Railroad
Index to Operating Guides
Everything you need to know in order to operate the Pacific & Eastern as a railroad. This is a work in progress, created on May 8, 2009, and is subject to frequent updates. It's purpose is multifold:
- Reacquaint long time members to P&E Operations and to the changes which have occured in evolving from a modular layout to a permanent railroad.
- Educate and inform newer members on how the P&E functions and replicates the operations of an actual railroad.
- Provide visitors with an introduction to P&E operations so that they may participate with an idea of what's going on.
- Provide a reference and forum for P&E Operations available to model railroads everywhere.
Topics (some of which will be included in the coming months) include:
- A Glossary of railroad terms
- The Operating Scheme and Job Descriptions
- The Basics of Car Handling (Required Reading)
Waybills and Car Cards (Required Reading) - Operating Authority
- Track Warrant Control on the P&E (NEW -- Required Reading)
- DCC Standards and Procedures
- Mile Posts, Stations and switch locations
- Operating Rules
- Cars
- Motive Power including Rosters
In order to promote further discussion on Operations, a Forum has been created. Just register (it's fast, free and I promise no spam) and post your questions, observations and recommendations.
