Chapter 8: Kicks
Twenty yards of kicks
A flat yard with a kick budget: shove, let go, and route one or two cars as they roll, like a small hump that runs out.
20 yards, pars from 3 to 7 moves. Beside its theme, chapter 8 draws on sealed blocks, repair time and outbounds, with two breathers of plain sorting and extra cars. Difficulty runs as a sawtooth: runs of easy yards, a spike, a breather.
