Sending every Pgh, Wassaic, and Danbury train into the loop track wouldn't work.That's not how they did it back in the day. There kept an extra engine at GCT. When a train arrived, they hooked the spare to the north end of the train and unhooked the incoming engine. The spare became the outgoing engine and the incoming engine became the spare. If you have one spare assigned to each branch, you have enough equipment to avoid using one of the 6 loop tracks at GCT. Also, the Danbury Branch was electric. |
