Hi Jim and All,

Originally, we had 3 sets of road trains making setoffs and pickups at Cedar Hill, South Adam and Guthrie.  We have decided to make these road trains straight thru with no intermediate yard work and have created a transfer train that delivers and picks up cars at both South Adam and Guthrie and also continue to use the 2 current scheduled transfer trains between Cedar Hill and Gresham and Cedar Hill and Ribo.

Train: Bowling Green Transfer (BGT-1/BGT-2)

Route: Gresham Yard / South Adam / Guthrie / Bowling Green (turning point) / Gresham Yard.

This train departs Gresham Yard with cars for South Adam and Guthrie.  It works both yards enroute to Bowling Green (north staging) and runs through staging and back to Gresham Yard with no stops.

There will be outbound traffic from both yards with cars possibly going to any of the customers or staging yards on the railroad.

At Bowling Green, we have a 02y yard that can be used as the reporting point for the turn, or I can use IND05s as the staging track that it is reported at for the turn.

========================================

I have a questions regarding individual cars on the train going through staging. 

Some cars will be traveling north to Indianapolis and beyond and others will be routed to Gresham Yard.  

I do not want these cars to be unloaded and reloaded as they run through staging, so I'm thinking that the 02y yard at Bowling Green would be the best reporting point. 

Will these cars be unloaded/reloaded if the train is reported at IND05s instead of the 02y yard, and any other thoughts that you may have? 

Thanks, Andy
