All right. I'm back after spreading some mulch on flower beds and completing other outdoor chores. The rains have started so I got it all done in time. Now let's see if I can post the following info successfully! I filled out the route sheet according to the information on the scenario cards. It is as I thought...I'll need more than one train to serve all of the customer demands for today. Here is what it looks like:

I'll go through it line by line. I've circled the places where trains originate and underlined the industires/destinations the train will serve. I also note "P" for pick up and "S" for set up.
First we have a delivery of coal cars for KP Steel coming from Mayfield. No other traffic from Mayfield so I think I'll call this run an extra.
Secondly, Sal's Salvage and the Team Track in Kings Port request service from the KP&W that will terminate at West Mill's Float Yard. This will be a KP&W extra that the crew refers to as the "Scrap Job".
Thirdly, the most work for today will be done by local KM-3 (Kings Port to Mayfield) which will serve Hedberg Aggregates, KOSCO, GERN and PEERLESS Appliance in Mayfield. The scenario card for KOSCO says their tank cars need to go to the Float Yard. Fortunately KM-3 can switch the Float Yard before branching off to Mayfield.
Finally the only request for service from the Penvan area is the delivery of two hoppers to Ulster Cement. That will be done by a short extra out of Kings Port's Williams Yard.
Serving industries off layout like PEERLESS and Ulster Cement only involve sending the cars to a hidden staging track.
Next I'll take photos of the set up for all of the scenarios on the route sheet. This will include the completion of switch lists for each train.
Thanks for your patience in following along!
