I was messing around with the idea of just running a short local for a session and came up with the Float Yard Turn. The Float Yard in West Milll is close to Empire Grain, GERN, and Sal's Salvage. I drew a new, simplified card, from each of these three industry decks. Other cards in each deck ask for different numbers and types of cars to be picked up or set out (ex: "No work today" or "set out one tank car of lubricating oil for the car shredder at Sal's", etc).
In this draw I have to pick up a gon of scrap metal from Sal's, a couple of loaded boxcars from GERN, and exchange a pair of covered hoppers at Empire Grain.
Staging for this scenario involves placing the two boxcars at GERN,
The loaded gon at Sal's,
...and the covered hoppers at Empire Grain,
..and the Float Yard (which I forgot to photograph in the yard as staged and ready).
