You think like a railfan and I think like a dispatcher because I'm running an efficent railroad, rather than entertaining some rail fans. As I said already, I'd rather keep my c/r's safely locked in a cab if I can do so.If I was the dispatcher and I had 24 cars worth of R46's available, that's what I would use. First of all, he is starting with 3/4 car R46 trains on Friday night. Add 2/4's together, and he has one train right off the bat. He lays up the other 4 car piece to the yard, which comes back out Monday morning, and all he has to bring out of the yard is 2/8 car R46's if he has them for the weekend. Why would I bring out one or 2 R32's if I had an R46 avilable? Why would I give my workers a task of changing 40 or 60 side signs and 10 end signs on an R32 only to have them get changed back to A for Monday morning service? I will not give my workers un-necessary work to do. |
