For Gregg,
We would come out with everything including our HOLD cars. In our scenario there are hold cars that could be left inside, but we would bring them out to catch our kick cars. The real Lawton warehouse was just under 1000' feet long and each track inside held 16 fifty-footers. And we didn't want to make noisy joints inside the warehouse or have cars drifting where we could not see.
There are many questions left unanswered when I post these things. In the previous puzzle Big Jim alluded to the allowance of continuous shoving on a track to make multiple joints and call it 1 move (that is what we would have done as long as it was safe).
If anyone has an old switch list, please do us a service and scan it in.
