Operations/shunting article in July MR?

[RobertInOntario]

Basically, I want it to remain a passenger layout but thought I could add variety by adding the occasional freight train or at least having an operational plan for it when it does appear. I'll keep thinking about and mulling over these ideas.

From the website of Craig Bisgeier's Housatonic layout, I found this short introduction to passenger operations in America:

I found this web page about Frisco passenger train handling at Memphis Central Station in 1957:

And Chuck Hitchcock had a description of passenger train operations at his Argentine passenger station in an article in the 1997 edition of Model Railroad Planning. He had a REA express freight terminal and a post office at his station, and had quite a bit of work taking express cars off the trains or putting express cars on the trains. As luck will have it, I can find every issue from 1996 until 2010, except 1997 ...

You might be able to see a little description of his station at google books here:

Wow, thanks, Stein! I'll check those websites. Rob
