My Take On Operations "Game"

[Ralph]

I vote for the latter because the idea appeals to me and is similar to ops schemes I've developed. It allows you flexibility to select any number of cars you may wish to meet the need of the industry being served. If I want to include that nicely weathered NYC boxcar on a train I can choose it if the cards ask for a boxcar. Isn't this reflective of how the prototype works? Shipping orders come in and the railroad makes decisions about how to meet them with the equipment they have available?
