CPR Saskatchewan Ave. Spur Question

Ok, so I have a question about the CPR Spur near Saskatchewan Ave. in Winnipeg. When/what time is it usually used? I'm asking because I would like to try to get a video of them there. If I had to guess, I would say in the earlier hours of the day, but I don't know. If somebody knows, then could they tell me please, thanks.

Play/Operate

Hi, I am wondering,

Do you feel you are at ‘play’/can be ‘playful’ whilst operating (prototypically, or thereabouts a model railway). Essentially, are there any differences between play and operate to you, and whether essentially play might not be part of operate for you? I ask in the context of trying to write a piece conceptualizing play in the model railway hobby, it would be great if you could offer your thoughts on this if you like.

Sunday Ops

Engines and switching lists are waiting for the crews to report tomorrow for my first railroad operating session. Snacks and drinks are ready too. Five crews will work a fast clock from 1pm to 4pm switching cars and making up trains at both ends of the layout. This "shakedown" will help point out any problem areas to be fixed. After that, I plan on having monthly sessions with my friends to run trains and have fun.

Operation in O gauge in 3 rail.

Part 1.An Operation of this size takes a lot of space.

part 2. I remember one layout from train master tv Pennsylvania and Western railroad. Most of  the time you can focus on local trains .

part 3-pros and cons. Pros- easy to see and re-rail, easy to couple on and to see. Cons-it costs a lot of money and uses a lot of space. 

Conclusion-paper work. You can take the same paper work from an HO model railroad.

Coal and steel railroad

My name is Josh .I'm mostly a lone wolf when I operate. My layout models prr and a fictional railroad called coal and steel . It can take 3 operators to run the railroad or 1. It is o gauge 3 rail and block control with remotes that I built. The paperwork is car Card waybill and track warrant. I'm writing a article to submit to the dispatchers office magazines.
