No Jim, in some of my other postings, I have photos showing the operation. The wye at Rockwood is not long enough to turn the whole train. The steam engine work together to turn the first two cars on the train and the last two. The swap the first and last cars by pushing them to the end of the wye, where the engine on the other side takes them.
