The whole process takes roughly 1 hour. These crossings simulate interlockings that are not controlled by the dispatcher, but are first come, first serve. You have no control over cross traffic at these locations. That s plenty of time for an NS train to clear if it s already in the plant. But, to be on the safe side, keep an eye on the schedule so you ll know when a foreign line train is due, and keep the NS home signals at stop except for an approaching NS train.
Locals work both districts.
From there it turns back west, working the Dean siding again, then works the siding at Cascade before heading home. L18 reappears at Conneaut late in the evening, works the Bessemer and Lake Erie interchange at Girard, stops on the main track at Cascade, then heads for Dean siding as the sim ends. On the Toledo District, L21 is another nocturnal local. It initially appears at Fremont, where it runs non-stop to Homestead Yard in Toledo. It reappears some time later, stopping at Oak Island, on the main at Fremont, and at Clyde before heading to Bellevue to tie up.
