Russ: I also noticed that the crews would come in the morning with a loco only to pull the cars out of the spurs, and then they would be back a couple of hours later to spot fresh cars.

That's a unique operation plan and one that is simple to emulate.

Russ:I noticed a lot of the locals just put the locomotive in the middle of the train.

When we did that on the PRR we used 2 cabins-one at each end of the train.Not a popular move and most conductors frown on doing it if there was a avaible run around..
