Since there is not much going on here at the moment, a small task:
A triangular track system with three points is given. (pic 36) Section a is a short dead end with a bumper block. Sections c and b are short distances between the points, the length of which can just accommodate one railroad wagon each.
Route D is a long, open-ended route. There is a goods wagon on section B and a container wagon on section C; on section D there is a locomotive with a tender. The section A bounded by the buffer stop is so short that it can accommodate the length of the freight wagon or container wagon, but not the locomotive and tender.
So while each of the cars can be moved from section B or C to the other side alone via the dead short distance A, this is not possible for the locomotive because of its length.
A locomotive driver now has the task of swapping the position of the two wagons by a shunting process, so that after the shunting process is complete, the container wagon is on track section B and the freight wagon is on track section C. The locomotive ends up on section D again (Fig. 37).
How is the shunting process to accomplish this?
