Comments on: Arriving at Alliston, CP 421 has detached from their train, set handbrakes, and is going into the yard to get paperwork and make their lift out of Spence yard. However, 30 minutes later, just as the crew get paperwork, the RTC goes on the line to call 421. The Train Movement Director wants them to hurry up and get to Baxter as CP 100, the flagship eastbound is waiting for them and they do not want to delay it. The crew exclaimed they’re about to make their lift, but the RTC said no, you have to get going. Orders in hand, they got back to their train and reversed the movements made earlier to boot it out of town. An interesting exchange, cordial of course, but I suppose you don’t delay #100. :)
