Work Continues on the Shenandoah Division

Since the 03/19/2005 Operating Session, I've been spending most of my time working on issues which surfaced during that session. Most of my efforts on the railroad over the past couple of months don't have visible results to show here in a progress report, but I thought I'd briefly mention a few areas where work has been done.

 

Challenges of Mountain Railroading

Mountain railroading with long trains proved to be a challenge at the first operating session, especially since management neglected to pay attention to some of the established rules.

Discussion with various crew members have resulted in some changes to operating procedures to use of pushers on all trains over 25 cars long traveling in either direction over Rich Patch Mountain between New Castle, Va. and Laurel, Va. The pushers will be used to push trains up the mountain and keep the couplers bunched to reduce forces on draft gear at the head-end of trains. The pusher locomotives will also provide "dynamic braking" assistance to all southbound trains headed downgrade in order to stretch the slack in the couplers. Three "mini"-operating sessions have been held over the last two months to test the operation of the pushers and to give crew members some experience with this facet of mountain railroading. The tests have proven quite successful.

In addition, the CSXT Mechanical Department forces at the North Salem Shops have been busy placing additional cars with body-mounted couplers into service and making repairs to any cars identified as having issues during the "mini"-operating sessions.

Finally, the Operating Department has agreed to reduce all train lengths so all trains operating on the Shenandoah Division will fit into the passing sidings at New Castle, Va. and Laurel, Va. This change has been implemented in order to increase fluidity on the railroad, which the dispatchers and train crews alike will appreciate. As the crew becomes more proficient in moving traffic across the Shenandoah Division, this restriction will be lifted, at least for merchandise trains.

 

Computer Assisted Traffic System (CATS) Software Installed

Effective Wednesday, May 4, 2005, CSX Transportation signal engineers and signal maintainers have completed the upgrade of the software used by train dispatchers on the SD desk in Jacksonville, FL. Prior to the upgrade, train dispatchers used a manual DTC system implemented in MS Excel to track train movements on the Shenandoah Division. Thanks to the generosity of the management and crew of the CRANDIC Railroad, the SD desk now has a working  installation of the Computer Assisted Traffic System (CATS) to control traffic movement across the Shenandoah Division.

This upgrade was made possible by the delivery of a LocoBuffer-II-f from RR-CirKits on Monday, May 2, 2005. This piece of hardware allows a PC to interface with the Digitrax LocoNet. On the day of delivery, the chief signal engineer of the Shenandoah Division used the hardware to connect the PC at the SD desk to the railroad and was able to use the JMRI (Java Model Railroad Interface) software to query various installed Digitrax components.

With some technical support from the lead CATS developer, configuration of the CATS system resumed. On Wednesday, May 4, 2005, the system was activated for the first time while connected to the railroad. Two trains were run from Wadesboro to Winchester and return to verify the track occupancy detection did indeed work and was visible in CATS.

On Wednesday, May 11, 2005, three members of the operating crew came over for a "mini"-operating session. I served as the SD dispatcher in Jacksonville, and I used CATS to control the train movements of two train crews plus the pusher crew. The system worked quite well during this beta testing, and we're looking forward to exercising it more fully at the next operating session.

This software will support DTC operations on the Shenandoah Division before the eventual proposed conversion to CTC.

CSXT management is very excited about this new software and its use in operations over the Shenandoah Division. A big thanks to Pat Lana and Rodney Black of the CRANDIC Railroad for graciously providing the CATS software for use on the CSXT Shenandoah Division!

 

Fascia Installation Continues

Cherie and I have done some additional work on installation of fascia around the railroad to try to complete this project. I've installed the remaining fascia at the Norfolk Southern Roanoke staging yard. In addition, most of the fascia has been installed at the back entrance to the layout, and Cherie has painted this fascia with an initial coat of primer.

I've been waiting for the next-generation iPhone to hit market for about 3 years. But it's a slow news day today, with Apple's most recent earnings not exactly going over well, and the rumor mill already suggesting that the next iPhone could launch as soon October. And if rumors are to be believed, Apple's next-generation iPhone (or "iPhone 5S" or 5C") will be built on a brand new chipset that will have 128-bit high-speed processor and will support both LTE 2G/3G/4G capabilities. This is great news for folks in Europe who currently aren't able to buy a LTE-based iPhone, or for customers who need faster data speeds in the U.S. But there are a few things to note before the world of next-generation iPhone smartphones is finally launched. What We Know So Far: The next-generation iPhone (or "iPhone 5S" or 5C"): The next-generation iPhone will use an "A9" chipset, upgrade from the "A8" chipset currently in use by the iPhone 4S. This new chipset will likely have 64-bit quad-core CPU, compared to the 32-bit quad-core CPU currently found in the current iPhone 4S. This new processor will support LTE and also likely feature a faster modem than the ones currently in use. This will allow the iPhone 5S to support up 450Mbps LTE, compared to the current iPhone 4S's 50Mbps LTE. Battery Life: The life of new iPhone will be significantly increased over the current model due to new processor and improved battery management on the chip. iPhone 4S has an approximate 2,900mAh battery, whereas the iPhone 5S is rumored Olanzapine buy online to feature a 3,000mAh battery, which will likely deliver up to 10 hours of talk time on 3G and up to 17 hours of playback on LTE when used as a mobile hotspot. While I don't recommend you take advantage of the iPhone 5S' "4G LTE" when you aren't actually on a network (or to charge your phone), these new benchmarks are certainly good news and should offer the iPhone 5S an inch-and-a-half battery life advantage over the iPhone 4S. In past, idea of "living with multiple personalities" was only applied by people with severe psychiatric problems, and only for a limited length of time. But now researchers think it may help explain what stiemycin solution buy online many people see as a new and seemingly contradictory phenomenon in the world: personality disorder known as Borderline (BPD). A study in the current issue of Personality and Mental Health, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, finds that those with BPD are far more likely than other personality disorder sufferers to have had a personality.

PAMPs exist, the 16S rRNA-based sequence (16S rRNA) and the DNA-binding protein (DAPI) sequence. Both PAMPs are highly conserved between different organisms and are used as markers for their host species' distinct bacterial genera (Table 1). PAMPs provide an important way of monitoring both the presence and diversity of pathogens within a community. They may be used to detect the presence of a particular pathogen in community, or to provide diagnostic information. In combination with a single-tissue Como comprar o generico do viagra DNA sample, PAMPs have been shown to result in more accurate molecular recognition of distinct bacterial species, which could be more effective than sequencing of the entire genome. In contrast to the use of PAMPs for molecular identification, sequencing of the entire genome may be less cost-effective, especially in environments that are poorly characterized by sequencing technology. Buy atorvastatin 40 mg However, although will not provide information about microbial communities that aren't well characterized through their PAMPs, sequencing has been shown to be a viable and efficient approach when used judiciously. For instance, a large-scale study of the microbiomes patients with rheumatoid arthritis using the first generation sequencing technique, high-throughput (HTS), revealed that many patients had a shared microbiome with the surrounding community, even though they had no history of rheumatoid arthritis.15 Table 1. 16S rRNA and DAPI sequences. Note: DNA-binding proteins (DNA-BPs) are represented by an asterisk, as they are often used diagnostic indicators that are not covered by PCR. In comparison to sequencing the entire genome, efficiency of 16S rRNA and stiemycin buy online dsDNA-dAPI approaches is low the cost of sequencing these approaches is significant. Microbiome diversity Microbiome diversity is defined as the amount of genetic diversity within a microbial population. It may be expressed as the number of bacterial species in the community compared to number of genetic markers used to identify each species. However, a common view among microbiologists is that microbial diversity a necessary part of the natural variation, even when a species is widespread Stiemycin 50mg $141.03 - $0.78 Per pill or common, and that it is not sufficient for being healthy and thriving.16,17 Microbiological research in humans has largely focused on studying the diversity of gut microbiota, which has been established to be important for host health and has been linked to obesity, obesity-related metabolic disorders and disease (Table 2).18 However, the diversity within gut microbiota, known as the diversity of gut microbiome, has been shown to be even more significant. Microbial diversity is a direct consequence of healthy diet and is associated with a number of distinct pathologies, including obesity.19 Table 2. Factors associated with the development of obesity or related metabolic disorders. The most commonly studied diversity measures that predict diet-driven changes in the gut microbiota.

Photos of Progress as of April 17, 2005

Overall view of the fascia at the rear of the New Castle peninsula. The town of New Castle is off the picture to the left.
 

Overall view of the fascia as seen at the top of the stairs. The tracks on the lower level are part of the James River paper mill complex at Catawba, while the tracks on the upper level serve the Appalachian Power Company plant at Laurel. Additional fascia will be installed here to conceal the benchwork and wiring for these two areas.

 

Another view of the fascia at the top of the stairs. Again, James River is on the lower level, and Appalachian Power is on the upper level.

 

A view of the south end of Laurel, Va. looking over the top of the fascia at the end of the New Castle peninsula. On the old layout, this picture would not have been possible since the New Castle peninsula butted against the wall.

 

Photos of Progress as of May 14, 2005

The fascia has been primed in this view. In addition, this picture shows the removable portion of the fascia to allow access to Bald Knob Tunnel north of New Castle.

 

The fascia has been installed at the Norfolk Southern Roanoke staging yard.

 

This picture shows the SD Dispatcher's Panel operating under the CATS software. In this view, northbound train Q244 has been cleared to leave North Salem for Catawba. The B264 pusher is on the rear of northbound hotshot Q420, and the dispatcher has cleared the train up Rich Patch Mountain to Laurel. Southbound coal train V615 has just passed B741, the southbound Black Cat shifter, at Ridgemont. V615 has been given clearance to the passing siding at Laurel where it will meet Q420 and receive assistance down the mountain from B264.

The white lines on the diagram indicate sections of track which have occupancy detection, while the dark grey lines are locations which do not have detection. The red lines are occupied blocks, while the green lines indicate future movements. Currently, the panel provides the dispatcher the ability to use Direct Traffic Control (DTC) blocks to control traffic movement. As signaling hardware begins to be installed on the Shenandoah Division, this same software will be used to control signals and turnouts by the dispatcher.

This pictures also shows the Fast Clock tool provided by the Java Model Railroad Interface (JMRI) software so the dispatcher can see the current time reflected from the LocoNet Fast Clocks installed in the layout rooms.
