Placing Cars on Layout

a)      All cars placed on the Layout for the Operating Sessions are to remain there for the weekend. If you cannot leave cars for the weekend do not place them on the Layout for use in Operations.

b)      The Chief of Operations (COO) will generally work from the Yard.

c)      Select a Waybill from those made available by the COO.

d)      Ensure the car type, car length and type of load on the waybill match your car. For example, do not select a cement hopper waybill for a wheat hopper.

e)      Insert the Waybill into the Car Card inside the plastic pocket.

f)       Place the car at the designated location on the layout and Car Card into the Holder [Note 1] for that location. If the Spot already has the required number of cars, then place the car in the Yard.

g)      If the Car Card Holder is not available at this time lean the Car Card up against the car being careful of the scenery. At no time shall any Car Cards be propped against any scenic item.

h)      If no Waybill is available to match your car then place the car in the Yard. It will be used to assemble Locals and Through Freights.
