the coal trestle to one of the various depots around the layout.
Blocks of empty coal hoppers are classified in the yard, and
then sorted based on locations and payload.
Many of the trains are peddler freights which usually consist
of up to five freight cars and a caboose. These operations are
aided by placing cars around the various locations and indus-
tries on the layout. Each car is given its own unique car card to
assist in deliveries and pickups.
Each train has a loco card with details of the locomotive, road
name, number, and capacity, plus the car cards and waybills for
the freight cars.
Once a locomotive has completed its drop-offs, the caboose
is then returned to the caboose track and then is taken to the
yard for servicing and maintenance.
