Line 2 of the Form D grants the train authority to:
"OPERATE IN _________ DIRECTION(S) ON ________ TRK BETWEEN __________ AND __________"
For example, on the West Chester Railroad, Line 2 is filled out as follows:
"OPERATE IN _BOTH__ DIRECTION(S) ON _MAIN_ TRK BETWEEN __STATE_ AND __MILLS__"
My layout is setup as a two track main line loop. If I want to grant a train Line 2 authority to operate on the outer loop, then I suppose I would fill out Line 2 as follows (Note the identical station):
"OPERATE IN _BOTH__ DIRECTION(S) ON _OUTER_ TRK BETWEEN _WILLS_ AND __WILLS__"
Now here's my question, clearly the train has authority between WILLS and WILLS, but is it allowed to pass WILLS?
Is the train allowed to pass block limits because it does have authority in the next block? This seems to me to be a reasonable solution.
I realize that I am splitting hairs here and that this is something that would never occur in a real railroading situation. I just thought I'd put it up for discussion.
