It may be a green signal, but where is this train going?

but hey at least we got minor league teams that we can watch and it's less money because NHL cost to go up right next to the glass is about $400 to $600 dollars.

and the train is headed to Augusta,GA so it can see some good hockey

I had a cool idea....
I noticed that coffee shop, thing thread, and made me wonder...
I really dont know what goes on in that tread, but is it like a Role-playing resteraunt?
If it is (or not) it gave me an idea... We have a thread per subdision... Get where im going?
A text based, online Railroad!

Example ( i hope you dont mind me using your name, BNSF Railfan.!)

BNSF Railfan.: " BNSF Q1 is heading to Spokane Track1"
Me (dispatcher): "Alright Q1, switches lined, and you will get the green soon."
******************
BNSF Q1 is occuping MAIN 1
******************

Then, no one can use main 1 until BNSF Railfan says he has cleared, this would require a map (a made one, or offical), then you use the exact speed limit, and measuer the distance, caculate, and recive a arrival time. Things can pause the timer, like another train, or problem (derailment, "maintnace".)

So,

*******************
BNSF Q1 WILL ARIVE ON SPOKANE TRACK1 AT 1:00PM
*******************
Dispatcher gives BNSF Railfan. a red signal due to maintnace, so he changes the arival time...
*******************
BNSF Q1 WILL NOW ARIVE AT SPOKANE TRACK1 AT 1:30 PM DUE TO TRACK MAINTNACE ON MAIN1
*******************

I dunno, could work , need some thinking, and details...
