Thanksgiving Thoroughbred -- Version 1.0

In this scenario just before the Thanksgiving Holiday, you are an Amtrak engineer on the remaining one and half hour of your return run. You will be driving a double headed F40PH Amtrak passenger train which is configured to be longer than usual due to increased holiday passenger traffic. You will start just outside of the Sparks Yard in Nevada, waiting on a signal to change. You have three passenger stops on this final part of your return leg; they are Sparks, Reno and Truckee, NV. You have to watch out for the traffic signals, fuel status, and pay extra attention if you wind up chasing yellow. So can you bring in this passenger thoroughbred on schedule? Can you keep up with the increased rail traffic? And what about any other problems that just might pop-up? Can you handle the 1.1% grade and the curves that makes up Donner Pass? Duration : 90 mins Difficulty : Medium
