The yard in Lincoln (behind Polar Ice. It is actually the branch line interchange. This yard is to be used for rolling stock going or coming from the branch line on or off the mainline. Any of these tracks can be temporally for switch at Lincoln.
The yard in Herons Landing. The back two tracks are for tank cars going to Coastal Oil only. The front track is to store the Herons Landing passenger train only. Any of these tracks can be temporally used for switching operations at Herons Landing, but not for storage of other rolling stock.
The yard at Wellington. The back track is not to be used to store rolling stock - It is a switching lead! The siding in front of the station is for storage of the Wellington passenger train only, with the short track behind this is a caboose storage track only.
Track one (front track) to the Wellington turntable. This track is isolated and can be powered on and off. This is the track to be use to load engines onto the layout. First turn off the power, load the engine on the dead section of track, then turn the power on and run the engine. This will eliminate shorting out the system while putting your engine on the tracks
Elsewhere programming track. Not only used to program engines, but also to load engines onto the layout, as above. Use the dead section of rerailers.
Elsewhere yard. Two tracks of this yard must be left open, probably tracks 4 and 5 (the back 2 tracks as these have the best alignment to the turntable, one to receive incoming trains the other to run around your train. At no time is the yard a storage area for engines, idle engines should be in the roundhouse, attached to a train waiting for you to run, or stored in the new lockup.
