A railroad president asked a yardmaster what he saw out his window..The YM replied a busy railroad..
The president replied No,what you see freight that's not moving..

That's what railroaders see in yards.
I'm not saying he should load up all that track to make it appear busy. I was making suggestions to the plan he came up with, if anything I was trying to simplify it. Most members here take it upon themselves to completely change plans that others post. His plan has interchange coming in plus cars from the industries and only had 1 track to sort and store all those cars. NSHO I guess you should just listen to him since he has thousands of posts and a witty quote.
