Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2018 4:41 amStudent Train preparations and departure:
Look to the right in this shot, there is a speeder with a larger tank trailer parked on the lead to the tipple dump. They brought this in over the weekend and it went out yesterday so looks like they now have 3 water capable speeders to follow trains.
The speeder with the large tank trailer has moved down to the switch for the main so will follow the student freight.
