Run the northbound K940 Rock Train from Auburndale to Orlando, pick up ten loads and on to Benson Jct. where the run terminates.

You're in charge of K940 today, with rock loads from south Florida headed to Benson Jct. The activity begins with your train at 15 mph ready to take the connection from the Miami sub at Auburndale onto the A-line north to Orlando, where you have ten more loads to pick up. Put these loads at the head end so you only have to back up with the locos, not the whole train. Once your bigger train is set to pull, you head north again to Benson Jct. It's the middle of the day, so there will be Amtrak trains and perhaps a freight or two to contend with.

IMPORTANT--Because there are no reversing points for the switching move at Orlando, you need to BE SURE that the switch ahead of you is properly aligned after you put your train back together and begin to pull north. The switch should show a diverging route to the right to rejoin the main track. The straight alignment takes you into a dead-end siding!

Here are the non-default locos and cars needed for the activity:
