Currently laying track for the second reverse loop which is Fuhgeddaboudit Yard.  This yard is configured as a large loop inside the mainline loop.

Road engines will enter the yard via a long arrival siding and cutoff from their trailing cars.  The road engine will proceed around the classification yard to the locomotive servicing area while the yard engine sorts the recently arrived cars.

The classification yard has long leads at each end plus a runaround track at each end to aid the yard crew in sorting.

Departing trains are pushed onto the long departure siding where the road engine can wait and then back up to pick up its train.  From the departure siding the train enters the mainline.

I am working out the power distribution for this yard.
