I don't know about playing cards, but I've read about dice. Systems like this usually just tell you how many cars to collect and let the engineer pick out which ones.
There are systems with car cards where you have a card for each car listing places it can go and you work your way down the card -- carry the cards along with the train and leave them where you set out the car.
Another system has car cards and waybills -- the waybill lists goods to be moved from one point to another and has to be matched with an appropriate car. May also have conditions (reefer must be iced before being loaded).

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.
