Thru Freight Ballet on the HO Scale Colorado & Southern Ry - Ep 4

Eight trains. Five meets. And no train orders. Enjoy the day and night action as passenger and freight trains meet on the single track main line between Denver and Longmont Colorado.

Ride along with train crewman Carl on his three freight runs on a June day in 1958. The Colorado & Southern Ry. Northern Division is running smoothly, and eight trains will make five meets on this busy day.

These train crews are not under orders from a Dispatcher -- their meets are choreographed by the Time Table schedule. And it all looks so easy -- if you know what you're doing.

In 1958, the Colorado & Southern Railway used time tables, train orders, and operating rules to move trains up and down the Colorado Front Range. The operating crew of the C&S Ry Northern Division model railroad replicates this system on the layout. This is a sample of their efforts.
