Why bother, unless there is some burning reason the have the cars in numerical order of contract numbers and delivery dates?

Actually, I've been told that they like to have each of the cars at the head end to keep the controls in the cabs from getting 'rusty'.

The only constants is 1802, 1000, and 1300 coupled to each other.

Assumptions:

* Moves taking place at 207 Yard.
* No fewer than 3 cars in a moving train to prevent gap-out incidents.

1. Uncouple the last four (N|1802-1000-1300-401|S) from the others, (1a) move them into a shop track, and (1b) run 1802 & company around the loop.

Track 1: N|401-1300-1000-1802|S
Track 2: N|100-484-381-1575|S

2. Uncouple 1575 from the rest of the train on "track 2." Send the remainder to couple up with 401.

Track 1: N|100-484-381-401-1300-1000-1802|S
Track 2: 1575

3. Uncouple "Track 1" train between 401 and 1300. Move them to another track.

Track 1: N|1300-1000-1802|S
Track 2: 1575
Track 3: N|100-484-381-401|S

4. Move 1300 &co to "Track 2" and hook up with 1575.

Track 2: N|1300-1000-1802-1575|S
Track 3: N|100-484-381-401|S

5. Move 1300 &co to "Track 3" and hook up with the rest.

Track 3: N|1300-1000-1802-1575-100-484-381-401|S

6. Cut between 100 and 484. Move 100 to "Track 2."

Track 2: N|1300-1000-1802-1575-100|S
Track 3: N|484-381-401|S

7. Move the rest of 1300 &co back to "3."
Track 2: 100
Track 3: N|1300-1000-1802-1575-484-381-401|S

8. Move the group of 7 cars to "Track 2."
Track 2: N|1300-1000-1802-1575-484-381-401-100|S

9. Move the first 5 back to "Track 3."
Track 2: N|381-401-100|S
Track 3: N|1300-1000-1802-1575-484|S

10. Leave 1575 and 484 by themselves
Track 1: N|1300-1000-1802|S
Track 2: N|381-401-100|S
Track 3: N|1575-484|S

11. Move "Track 2" to "Track 3."
Track 1: N|1300-1000-1802|S
Track 3: N|381-401-100-1575-484|S

12. Move "Track 3 to "Track 1."
Track 1: N|381-401-100-1575-484-1300-1000-1802|S

Done!

Good job!!! I hadn't even thought about needing 3 car minimum to avoid gapping out.
