The lower level of 179 (local track side) only has room for 4 trains, all tracks ending in bumper blocks and it's a tight squeeze.After the MM who had a fatal heart attack and destroyed 2 R46 cars, near the bumper block they put in a signal where you have to stop and push a button that drives down a stop arm before you can proceed the rest of the way. The bottom line is it takes longer to relay downstairs than upstairs, which can fit 2 trains on some tracks. Therefore you can relay without dealing with a bumper block and the kind of signal that's downstairs. |
