I am aware of "Rule #1", but as I have pointed out in other threads, for me if others do not find what I am doing Plausible, then I can not find enjoyment in the endeavor. And I have run into a huge problem, that I didn't spend much time thinking about, but now that I have been made aware of, it really bothers me.

To give some context to the problem, here is a brief overview, as I have shared bits and pieces here and there, but I want to make sure we are all on the same page here. 

The Pennsylvania & Allegheny RR is:

So this is a second yard I am designing at the moment.  This Yard is a Division Point Yard between the Northern Division (South Erie, PA to approximately 20 miles North of Franklin, PA where this yard is located) and the Southwest Division (this point south to Pittsburgh, PA).  

This Yard needs to serve the following functions:

- Crew-Change point between the Northern and Southwest Divisions.
- generate two Locals (one North/one South) for every 12 hours trick
- the end of the Helper District for the Northern Division

Ok, so I know I'm well into the realm of 'it depends'.  Regardless, I want to ask the question.

All, 

Looking for some help on a design project. 

Right now the base information I am looking would be mid 1990s CN diesel rosters, and what power was CN shedding during that time period?

1995ish is what I am looking at. 

Thanks, 

Bob
