Still struggling with operations

[RobertInOntario]

Hi Larry,

I'm still trying to get my mind around this operating sequence. I've type in a few questions below in caps. Basically, I'm not sure which train should be on which track (i.e. inner or outer).

Just wondering if you could please add a few more details as I'm kinda "slow" at getting this. :oops: :? :oops: Thanks for your help!

First train is out of the freight yard is a Westbound.This gives me room and time to classify the remaining cars into trains.
DOES THIS START OFF ON THE INNER OR OUTER LOOP, OR DOES IT MATTER? AND, ONCE IT HAS LEFT THE INNER LOOP, IS THAT WHEN YOU START PUTTING TOGETHER THE 2ND FREIGHT TRAIN?

Second train comes out of the station..This will be the morning Eastbound mail train with mail express cars,mail storage(baggage cars) and 2-3 coaches.
WOULD THIS BE ON THE OTHER LOOP, I.E. WITH THE FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE INNER LOOP AND THIS ONE ON THE OUTER?

I then have the second freight made up so,the first train is now a inbound and it arrives the units are cut off and taken to the engine service area.
The second Westbound freight departs.
I now classify the inbound cars.Several of these cars will be made into the local freight.
A Eastbound freight is now ready..
The Eastbound mail train will now backs into the station track.

The Eastbound freight departs.
I build the local.
