Alan, <br /> <br />While operations in the US have changed recently with the introduction of container and trailer on flatcar (COFC/TOFC) traffic and the US railroads are running more "unit" trains than they did in the past, I recommend the book "How to Operate Your Model Railroad" by Bruce Chubb as the best source for this information. Unfortunately, I believe this book is out of print so you may have to get creative with the internet to find a copy someone wants to sell. Another book, "Track Planning for Realistic Operation" by John Armstrong contains a wealth of information and this book has been reprinted in its third(?) edition not long ago. <br /> <br />Or, you can buy me a round trip ticket to England this summer and I will bring my two copies when I visit. Good Luck - Ed
