Yep, Jim, many on the web are grammatically challenged these days. lol
At least he can spell half way. That's a plus.
The phenomenon is not just restricted to the youth either. I can't read my daughter's text messages she sends me, and she's 36 with a dual college degree, one in nursing. So she ain't dumb.(Takes after her father in that regard)
Jimbo, you just need to get with the 21st century. LMAO!!!!!
Julien, I have a similar process going on with my layout. I have a union of (6)railroads. Railroad (A)(either the PRR, NYC, or NKP) passes off the consist to one of the other roads, after cutting the train for locals and empties. I add a few cars from the other roads to build a consist for the Wabash or Monon, or one of the others. Makes for a busy time. I don't have very many "straight though" expresses other than some of the reefers. Those get "re-iced", if needed,while the engine is serviced or changed out, and continue on after picking up a few more cars at the meat plant and the brewery to head out.
Coal consists ALWAYS have the right of way, since I have no sidings long enough to park a long, usually 50-60 cars long minimum, coal drag. But I'm working on changing a few modules to allow the coal trains to take a siding. Another evolution in my layout.
