Modeling realistic passenger train operations

You'll learn which cars to include in your trains to make realistic passenger consists and how to prototypically run your passenger operations from the coach yard to the last terminal on the route. One article takes you through different passenger station types, including a diagram of Pittsburgh's Smithfield St. Station. There's an overview of mail traffic on the rails, providing some ideas for interesting head-end operations. Finally, Chuck Hitchcock describes how he realistically runs passenger trains on his Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Argentine Division layout, including his track plan.
