Switching the boat at Thomure can be confusing for new operators (and even old heads). Hence, I created a diagram showing an efficient method of switching the boat without clogging up the yard, fouling the A/D tracks or repeatedly shoving cars to Middle Yard.

The first step is to line up the outbound cars in 3 separate cuts per the rules for length and weight. Once this is done, you can proceed with the switching notes. I am certain there are other ways to solve this puzzle and if you come up with a better method, please share.

OK, are you ready to see the moves? Are you sure? If so, click HERE.
