An operating session lasts 4 to 5 hours.  During that time we will operate a commuter train, a fast freight and a drag freight in each direction, the Cement Train, two locals and the yard engine at Mac St. Yard in San Jose.  A helper crew and a work train round out the mainline activity.  Operations center around the yard at Mac St. which classifies cars for spotting at local industries or into blocks for pickup by through trains or for interchange with the SP at SP Xing.  The Perishable, our hot through train jointly operated with the WP, makes only one pickup or setout at West San Jose for hot traffic.  Local switching in the San Jose area is done by "The Crusher"; industries at E. Rica are worked by the E. Rica Local.  The east and west drag freights are worked at Mac St Yard and they pick up and set out blocks of cars for the Mountain Local at Fallon.  The Mountain Local works the industries at Fallon, the interchange with the shortline FC&A at Fall Creek Jct., and industries at Dougherty's.  A local mill switcher shuffles cars at the Beroldingen Lumber Co. mill at Dougherty's.  The Cement Train's connection currently originates on the SP, comes onto the SCN at SP Xing., is filled with additional traffic off the WP and ATSF, runs up the hill to the Damsite Branch where it exchanges loads for empties and then returns.  Car movements are controlled by waybills. Train movements are controlled by Time Table and Train Order.
