Why long drill tracks

<p>You think that it would be easier to have TWO A/D tracks. That way the yard can handle more faster both Outbound and Inbound. You already have the length, the only issue would be two extra switches and about 3-4 inches more side room.</p><p>Im thinking that if the A/D is train length, my drill can be half that so I can put a train away in two bites. Or deploy a train by simply assembling two cuts off a pair of yard tracks. For that to work the drill needs to be as long as the longest yard track.</p><p>I had a light bulb the other day, having the roundhouse, caboose tracks etc on the far end of the A/D tracks so that the road engines and caboose does not have to wade through the drill/yard tracks to get to and from the facility.</p>
