In PRR ETTs, there is a section on locomotives and which ones can be used on which lines and sidings.
My question concerns the difference between prohibited (X) and restricted due to light rail (R). A branch line may have (R) next to it for larger power. I take it to mean that power is restricted from being used on the branch, due to the light rail. Isn't that the same as prohibited? Either way, you can't run on it with that particular power.
What happens when a siding as all X's beside it for all power? That means all engine classes are prohibited from using the track. So how would you service the siding?
Another two adjacent sidings had (X) for the two classes for 6-axle power on one and (R) for six-axle on another. Again, isn't this accomplishing the same thing?
Thanks.
