Thread Name: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN
Subject: RE: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN
"Passenger trains have always had priority over freight trains, and they frequently travel on the same rails. If a freight train and a passenger train are both ready to enter the same section of track, the passenger train goes ahead and the freight train waits."
