Chapter 20: Hidden waybills
Twenty yards of hidden waybills
In the dark a car’s waybill is hidden until it has been pulled. Goals still use the true destination, so par allows a look or two.
20 yards, pars from 4 to 12 moves. Beside its theme, chapter 20 draws on auto racks, timetables and the hump, with two breathers of plain sorting and extra cars. Difficulty runs as a sawtooth: runs of easy yards, a spike, a breather.
