Designed for operation (car forwarding, interchange plan, scheduled trains)

• Designed for operation (car forwarding, interchange plan, scheduled trains)

• Be able to handle around 8 operators

• Reasonably realistic car forwarding system

• Easy as possible restaging/setup

• • This drove me to a “through staging” design and a full circle, since that way loaded coal trains would always be headed southbound for example.

• Schema that is easy to adjust while learning from ops sessions
