Design and Operations of a Modern Layout

[rsn48]

I do have several "ops" books, but I must confess I'm not familiar with "How to Operate a Modern Switching Layout." I have been out of the hobby for roughly 5 years and just returned four months ago, so I'm a little rusty I must confess with my knowledge of modern ops. I am also looking into transload track, I'd love for others to expand on this type of track and what happens there. I will be ordering the book.

I'd love to hear how your layouts (modern) work, I need some ideas.
