Notes
Major reconstruction work at Stans Knob! The last operating session found 4 people trying to work around Stans Knob and Becs Bend/Quilly Mine #1. The solution was to cut Stans Knob almost in half and move it to the other side of the doorway.

Notes
Very little construction work proceeded because of the concentration on improving operations.
I have replaced all but two Tortoise machines with bluepoints in the switchbacks. The Tortoise machines will be re-purposed for Train Order signals.
The switch at Still Look was replaced to allow one extra car per train. This need was exposed when the yardmaster started to build the Jack Frost train at the January Op Session.
The other major change was the attempt at adding scenery to the Williams port Yard! I figured it would be the best location to start as all the cars in the yard would hide the mistakes.
