Texas Western Railroad Operations
This page is aimed at Railroad Operations as we
do it on the Texas Western. We certify that no animals were harmed, and
that no environmental disasters were created which impacted on the local
populace. After all, model railroading is FUN!!
After a brief experimentation with one operating system, we
realized that it did not have sufficient computer power to run a railroad empire as large
as the TWRR. A bit of investigation by some highly dedicated people (with
more time on their hands than I have) lead us to the computer program ProTrak™.
Below are some photos of part of the process of learning how to "operate a
railroad".

After the initial ProTrak startup seen below, we held several successful
operating sessions in a row. As we did, all of us became more
proficient at running the railroad.
In the meantime, several events conspired to prevent operations, and
November starts the "Train Show" season, where we hold several open houses.
Then more open houses, culminating with an open house for the National
Railroad Historical Society in June 2008.
But then we got started again. Click this link :
