Thanks Ed and Larry.... Making more sense now.... Maybe stretch it to 2 industries some days and they would be switched last to first I take it... Please keep some examples comming!!! Awesome help!!!

Ed suggested a separate switching company..This is a excellent idea that makes you feel like your working for this switching company..

A scenario.

Let's call this switching railroad Columbus Terminal Ry.We will use a GE 70tonner #5.

We report to work and look over the inbound list and today's switch list as Tom our engine man fires up #5.

After coffee we toddle over to the interchange and pickup 7 inbound cars and head back to do the work as per the switch list.

After the switching is completed we take the outbound cars to the interchange and return to the office and park the engine.We then take a lunch break before heading over to make some respotting for one of the larger industries and when finish we return the engine to its spot and Tom shuts it down for the day.

At this point we replace the outbound cars with new cars on the inbound track for the next operation session.

The main element is slow switching speeds.
