QUOTE: Theoretically, there are rural industries between A and B that the eastbound local from division point A would service.
QUOTE: Town C is the western most modeled town on the layout, with two simulated interchanges, a small yard, and several industries with spurs facing in both directions.
QUOTE: The eastbound and westbound locals meet in town B. The crews trade trains and return to their respective home bases.
QUOTE: If the westbound local enters town C with cars for both the trailing point and facing point spurs, would it be prototypical for them to spot the cars on the trailing point spurs only but leave the cars for the facing point spurs in the yard at town C

QUOTE: Originally posted by jecorbett First, let me repeat the set up of my freelance railroad: Suppose my towns are from west to east, A, B, C, D, and E. Towns A and E are division points. A is represented by the western staging yard will E is a modeled division point with a staging yard to the east of that to represent the next division. Further, town B is an unmodeled subdivision point yard. Theoretically, there are rural industries between A and B that the eastbound local from division point A would service. Town C is the western most modeled town on the layout, with two simulated interchanges, a small yard, and several industries with spurs facing in both directions. The eastbound and westbound locals meet in town B. The crews trade trains and return to their respective home bases. If the westbound local enters town C with cars for both the trailing point and facing point spurs, would it be prototypical for them to spot the cars on the trailing point spurs only but leave the cars for the facing point spurs in the yard at town C and then on the return trip through town C spot those cars at their destinations when they will now be destined for trailing point spurs. Town C does contain a runaround track so it is possible to do it either way. Which would be more prototypical?
