the east end of the yard. It consists of 18 cars, starting with 2
BR, to which the locomotive is coupled, and ending with 2 CY. The
switch list directs that the 2 CY and 5 SV cars be switched to track
13. Cut these last 7 cars from the left side of your strip and place
them on the east end of track 13. Thereafter, continue cutting the
cars or blocks from the left side of the strip and placing them on
the east end of the tracks designated as follows:
1 DW to track 6.
2 EV to track 9.
3 LY to track 14.
