The "Learnings" List

Project Management requirements include the necessity of maintaining a "Learnings List". There you keep note of all the things you learned (mostly bad but some good) during the project so you don't repeat the same mistakes on the next project.

Two things I learned during the first operating session were:

1) You need someplace to sort the car cards/ waybills, especially when blocking cars in the yard (can't do that in the tool aprons). So I added shelving at the Camden Pavonia yard and the small South Woodbury yard. In the Woodbury yard you need to sort out which cars you are picking up (depends on the direction you are going).



2) When you are my age you need someplace to rest your weary bones and Walmart's 30" wooden stools ($20) give you rest and the ability to watch the trains at nearly eye level!
