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.
--------------------------------
Absolutely and its time consuming work especially if you have to "cherry pick" the empties and loads...It wasn't unusual to pull 3 or 4 cars to get to the 2 outbounds then there is the need to respot each car at its proper door or dock number..
A local can take up to a hour to work large industries with several spots that needs switch and cars replace.
