Sounds to me like you are

Sounds to me like you are downsizing due to the tough economy, just like the real rr would do.

No doubt about it...

the economy is pretty tough. But sometimes crews get distracted by other things -- family matters, other train events, need to work. It just worked out that it had a very small crew that session. It was nice to see that the layout could still yield and interesting op session.
