[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by BigDarrin</i> <br />Stringlining is where the pull on the cars makes them want to create a straight line through the center of the turn, rather than follow the track around. Generally leads to tipped cars and extensive derailments. I'm sure somebody else can give a better explanation than that.[/quote] I don't think I could improve on that - pretty well sums it up.! That is why on long mixed freights, I always try to position the heavier cars in front and the light cars toward the rear.
