Yes, I only have a connection to the outside world at one end of the layout(Interchange Yard). 30 cars are brought from staging for tomorrow’s trains and the 30 cars from yesterday’s trains are returned to staging in each session.

Last night (we operated on Saturday since today is Mother's Day) we ran about 11 back to Wholeinthall. I don't think it will ever get to 30 on this layout in one shift.

Two locos and only four cars, only CN would run that train.
