While fixing the track on the layout yesterday I realized that I had created a small interchange yard where the problem was located. Re-arranging and relaying the track was not done with adequate attention to the track joins.

The good news is that I now need to see how to set up Ship It! so that it can utilize this interchange yard which will contain cars that have been set out from Queenston, Prairie Dog, The Channon and Lone Pine. Similarly, through freights from Jasper, Black Diamond, Distillery Row, Wild Rose and Coaldale can set off cars at the interchange yard and pick up cars that are sitting there. This should add an additional degree of interest to the train schedules.

I am pretty sure that this involves using Divisions in Ship It! I will stay away from this for awhile as I believe that this can be complicated. But I don't want to lose sight of the idea.
