from doing so without having to re-label all the car spots again.
The rationale I used was that it is where the odd tank car or
grain hopper would be spotted to unload into silos. However,
it is now part of my plan and has boosted the number of car
spots to 17.
2)
With spots 7, 8 and 9 I envisioned a grain elevator so the
actual order of the cars is immaterial. Thus, I created three
car spot markers numbered 7/8/9 which is the three car spots
together in any order. This accidentally solved the problem of
confusing 9s and 6s.
3)
Whilst I don’t block the outbound train (“X” marks) I have
added a little wrinkle in the system. I now have four “X” plus an
8. Bob and Fergus inspect the waybill for the tanker.
