Shux, I was just getting ready to take a stab at it!!
Hey, bring it back! I missed it and was looking forward to ICS with extra wit.
While Zug has pulled the scenario, the switching required would be somewhat involved - especially when one begins to consider such things as applying hand brakes and removing them when necessary.
There is another thing to consider, the location appeared, potentially, to be astride a Main Track. As such, the Train Dispatcher needs to know how much time you will require to complete the switching an be on the move as the TD has other trains the must traverse this segment of track. Just mapping out the moves that have to be made is one side of the equation, the time required is the other side of the equation.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

That concerned me as well, especially with all the "back and forth" required to juggle all those empties around the two largest blocks of incoming. Round and round and round, etc.
