is assembled. The run to Guadalupe is simulated by another
pause in the action, perhaps a soda this time?
When the train arrives in Guadalupe, the tracks are designated
as shown in figure 9. Notice here there is a conflict between
the refinery and stockyard tracks (8) and the Guadalupe Yard
Track #1 (9). Any cars previously spotted at the refinery or
stock yard are temporarily moved to some available space
elsewhere, if the yard track is needed for moves in Guadalupe.
Not prototypical, but needed to make the Guadalupe scenario
function, just like we didn’t spot a car at M&S in the first part
of this session.
Once the interchange cars are spotted on the Arrival-
Departure track and the loco is in the center of the layout,
the future of the outbound cars is in the hands of the SP.
That future consists of removing and replacing some cars and
flipping waybills on others. Once the SP finishes its work, there
is a new consist to pull back to Santa Maria, ready to spot any
off-spot cars and start over servicing the industries.
