Greetings all...
I have an few operational questions I'm hoping someone here can answer for me.
1) At Summit on the M&E, there are 3 tracks: 1, 2 and the wall track (I think that's the designation). Tk 1 is west, tk 2 is east and the wall track is normally used how?
2) Trains turning at Summit (63xx and/or 3xx) do so how? Do they land at the platform on tk 1 (or tk 2) and sit until the eastward return trip or are the moved west of the platform to clear up?
Do they utilize the wall track for turning as well? Because of the way the plant is configured east of the platforms, having an ewd train leaving off of tk 1 can cause some directional issues with other trains until he clears up at MILL. Ive seen some posts about turning trains west of Summit - is this a normal occurrence or only when traffic dictates?
Thanks in advance...
Jeff
