I use the ShipIt! program to generate switchlists. It's a bit

I did. My previous layouts were single deck, and I wanted
a longer mainline to improve the operation potential, and

double-deck.
With this layout, when an engineer picks up a train at one end
of the railroad, he's looking at a significant run to get to the
other end.

Arkansas River with the Ideal Cement plant towering in
the background.
