One idea I have for your coal hauling theme is to move the moutain towards the center. Then you can place the mine complex on one side and the receiving industry on the other. This will allow you to place a hidden 2 track staging type yard inbetween the industries. One track for the loaded train and the other for the empty train. Pull the loaded train from the hidden track, past the loader and on to the destination point where the loads can be shoved underground and the empties pulled back to the mine. Wash, rinse, repeat as needed. You could extend the mainline a bit by looping the mountain. The hidden tracks could also be used to complete the loop for continous running. <br /> <br />My 2 cents <br />Jay
