Entire unit train pulls in our 3 track siding off the main, we have enough track to hold the train and pop the motive power off the end and depart out one of the empty tracks. Crew will switch in 14 cars at a time in NY (19 in WA) In 4 hrs they will be unloaded, the crew will pull empties and reset the next 14 while employees at lunch. This will continue until the train is empty in 24 hrs. While we are unloading, switch crew will do inspections, pretrip and preair train for departure. Green Goats are beautiful if your a switch engineer as they have unsurpassed visiblity and no smoke..... Loading wil be by appt, and although unlikely, it is possible to thruput the entire 200 truckloads. The facility has the capability to hold the entire contents of the train, so technically we wouldn't need a single truck loaded out to complete the task, however, all would agree that it is much more efficient to do at least 50% that way. Conventional cars and switching would be done between unit trains to keep the facility going and to accomodate other areas with no access to unit train yet. B
