Using Locks on Switches While Operating

[Gary S]

Stein, that's what I'm thinking on giving the mainline added prominence. The local crews have to be aware of the through trains coming behind them, so the locks may be a way to insure they don't leave a turnout in the wrong position. It isn't really my intention to slow the crews down, as the size of the layout itself adds plenty of time to the local trains.

We'll test it out on April 22nd.
