Railroad Track Spurs
Ed sent in this short tutorial to share:
“Spurs are short-length rail road tracks used for train storage, customer/station services and loading/unloading operations.
Spurs are of two main types; single ended and double ended. A single ended spur has only one terminal connected to the main line. It can be leading or trailing. A leading point spur branches off in the forward direction and a trailing point spur branches off in the reverse direction. The latter is a better choice because it simplifies operations. A double ended spur has both ends connected to the main track.”
