9 Peterborough to Paratoo Mixed Passenger Freight

A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0

This scenario has been updated in V2.0. For the original V1.0 scenario, click here

10

Mixed passenger and freight run from Peterborough to Paratoo.

The Historical Bit
The region between Peterborough and Broken Hill is very sparsely populated - cattle, mining and maintaining the railway were the major activities. Most, or in some cases all, of the houses at the settlements along the line were built for railway employees and their families.

There was an express passenger service that ran from Port Pirie to Broken Hill but between Peterborough and Broken Hill it only stopped to load water and coal, and to change the crew. Local stopping passenger services were usually provided by a passenger car or a combined passenger/guard van attached to a local freight service. This scenario replicates that service between Peterborough and Paratoo.

When, Where and With What

Era:	1920s to 1969
Duration:	1 hour 40 minutes
Loco:	SAR T 202 on Peterborough Car Siding
Consist:	Attached to SAR T 202 QLX Box vans MTW Flat wagons CCC Gondola wagons 1 combined BGV Passenger Coach/Brake/Guard van
The wagons have been placed in the order of their destinations with Paratoo at the rear with the passenger coach/guard van. Each wagon has its destination as part of its name e.g. QLX Paratoo indicating its destination is Paratoo.

Getting Started:

If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the P key.
If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time (for example: to match the train timetable shown below) then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section
Next locate your loco. Either:-
- Open the Finder Tool (press Ctrl F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 202 (or just T 202 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
- Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:-
- the loco name (SAR T 202) OR
- the driver icon (named Driver 202) - this is a non-animated icon
then click the drivers Eye icon to take control of the loco
Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Peterborough. In each location details page:-
- the tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
- the tab reveals the invisible Track Marks for Drive To commands.
- the tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
- the tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
