Wayne, thanks for the helpful (as always) and elegant explanation of "loads in/empties out" movements. I do think one could utilize a single track connection more efficiently by pulling the outbounds first, then placing the inbounds, as is done with other industries without the "connection", which isn't really there anyhow. 
This would allow "turn" moves for unit trains, or set off/pick up for peddler/local freight/road switcher jobs. Of course, it means more work for you LPBs - is the 12 hour law in effect on your properties ? Bob C.
