Thanks John, for both posts. I guess a company could back-haul loads in their own cars but not those of foreign roads until dereg, right?
I'm glad you have those orders and line-ups. It has always been a fun pastime to study those sorts of things and particularly dispatcher's train sheets to learn how the railroaders did the job. I run these sub-divisions in the simulator and it is my goal to make the operations as close as possible to the prototype.
