Track 2 is either a passing siding and/or a storage track above the main, and Track 3 would be below the main. Or another method is all even numbers above and all odd numbers below.<br /><br />My idea is that once operators get used to the numbering they shouldn't need to look at the fascia, they just know even above, odd below the main. Of course the mainline will have different colour ballast to sidings/storage track.<br /><br />It's just designed to try and be simple, I had an idea you would get it as soon as I explained it...JLandT Railroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505164174036992414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-74887870864550378022017-07-08T23:29:20.855+10:002017-07-08T23:29:20.855+10:00Ah, I see.

Then Track 3 must be a lead or spur?alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104233231307618593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-53504986725762727532017-07-08T13:45:21.181+10:002017-07-08T13:45:21.181+10:00Hi Alan, Track 1 is just the reference I have give...Hi Alan, Track 1 is just the reference I have given to the mainline. Track 2 is any passing siding/storage track above Track 1/Mainline.<br />This is the reason why there is mulitples on this panel, it's just signifying the mainlines, my thought process was to keep things standard and easy for operators to remember.<br />So when looking at each panel and referencing a track, the operator would for example say to the dispatcher "SH17 eastbound Track 1 from Hershey to Track 1 Manheim" that's my logic, will have to see how it's received.JLandT Railroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505164174036992414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433568508521117006.post-57086206636000845192017-07-07T22:27:19.404+10:002017-07-07T22:27:19.404+10:00Why is there more than one each of Track 1 and Tra...Why is there more than one each of Track 1 and Track 2? Might it be difficult to determine which track is being referenced by the dispatcher or crew?alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104233231307618593noreply@blogger.com
