Re: Freight trains - thought exercise

Freight leaves Chama at 9:30 AM ahead of the regular train. Freight pauses at Lobato or Chama for run by, and the regular train meets and overtakes it. Freight continues behind regular train to Oshier. Regular trains take their tracks at Oshier as normal. freight waits behind eastbound train. Eastbound train departs Oshier, and the freight pulls onto the track where Eastbound just departed, clearing the main track for the regular westbound train. Westbound then departs Oshier. The freight then turns at Oshieer, and returns to Chama behind the Westbound.

Similarly, the same kind of thing could be done departing Antonito with the reg passenger train overtaking the freight at Lava.
