Brakie, his problem is that he wants to be able two switch out one or two cars inside a building without having to pull the entire cut, and he can't reach the couplers with any available tool when the cars are inside the building. Do real railroads and industries do that? In every instance that I know of if an industry receives a cut of cars to load or unload, they complete the work on all of them before they pull any or receive more cars. If they receive more loads or empties than they can handle at once, the industry has a tractor, or trackmobile to shuffle the cars around. Still they complete the work on one entire cut and move it out and then bring in another cut.
