But it can work like that, and sometimes you do have a choice. This may be a unique situation but I once held a job that would switch a paper mill and then make up a southbound. The southbound would go from point A to D with pick up and or set off at point B and C. (D is a switching yard) Trafic for B and C was made up on head end but the remainder of the train was for points beyond D. Lets say E, F, & G.(still with me here?!). E,F,&G trafic had to be blocked but the blocks could be interchanged because the train would be torn apart at point D and the blocks for E,F,&G added to thier respective trains. So, if block E & F were, say, MT chip and rock cars and block G was loaded paper cars, then G went ahead today. Tomorrow it might be the other way around. I stated,"where practical" in my earlier post because I wouldn't make more work for myself to get it this way, but if it wasn't any harder I did. But you are right, out of point D the blocks were station order with no regard for loads or MTs. Clear as mud right?! I'm not arguing, just expaining myself. Have a good day. Slofr8.
