... And in this day and age the critical thing to remember is that part of that "5% of the population" is every search engine on the internet. I guarantee you...
I like your observance of the KISS principle with that switch list Mike. my first reaction was that there ought to be a tag column for track or block. But on...
A quick response to something Dave H. said about Erie. Although train crews ran through, it was not the end of a crew district for enginemen. I remember when...
. There could be a joint facility in this scenario, but I pretty much guarantee there will be a staff of bean counters in a building somewhere in New York...
I've always liked the idea of model railroads simulating both the hours of service limitations or, at the very least, train crew availability. If a train crew...
... Those were assumptions based on the information previously provided. All of the previous comments had been that the only thing at Erie was a yard for...
Imagine a mid-sized city which is served by two railroads. Each has it's own classification yard, and uses "transfer's" to interchange cars with each other....
It all depends on the number of cars being transferred. In some cases runs would be made when a specific number of cars were ready. In others there were...
Dave, The short answer to that is, it depends. If traffic warrants there will be daily transfers, if there is a lot of traffic their could be two, or if there...

Well, there you are, Peter has shown that there is indeed a safe way to do this. What more could you want? :) Thanks for correcting me Peter Craig Bisgeier ...
A couple of years ago a friend of mine tried to incorporate crew availablility into his layout. To give you a brief description of the layout, it was loop to...

So I've been playing with sketches, and cardboard mock-ups since I got home, and I think I have a track plan worked out for the paper mill. The best way I can...
Responding to Dave H's latest. All I want to say is that Dave is right on target, including about the role of the GM vs. the accountants. As for Ashtabula,...
