Sorry Brakie....but I know, first hand, that some railroads operate this way. The NYS&W and Conrail (Dewitt Yard) both used yard crews to service RIP, TEAM and other misc. tracks. I was employed by both roads as a trainman (brakeman), conductor and engineer. We did all sorts of moves within yards - including servicing team tracks, not just "classing" trains.
The point I am making here is for MODEL RAILROADS! I am just trying to help modelers with another facet of yard operations. With a MODEL RAILROAD, it's ok to let your "yard crew" do anything YOU want in YOUR yard. With a REAL railroad, the work has to get done - NO MATTER WHAT CREW does it.

Doing my best to stay on track and to live each day to it's fullest, trying not to upset people along the way. I have no enemies.....just friends who don't understand my point of view.
