About this game ▾

Terminal Division

A wye to turn cars

A wye turns the whole cut in one move, reversing its order and the facing of every car. Some cars must stand facing the bumper at their destination.

4 hand-made yards, pars from 6 to 8 moves. Every yard has two challenge variants that open once it is finished at par.

The yards

#YardParThe job
1Turned Around8The marked cars are facing the wrong way: their door ends must point at the bumper. T takes the cut around the wye and brings it back turned, every car facing the other way and the order reversed. Albany on 1, Boston on 2.
2Doors to the Bumper8The outbound on Track 1 already stands Albany, Boston, Concord, but the Albany car faces the wrong way. Turning fixes a facing and reverses the order, so pick what goes round with it. Dover on 2.
3Turn and Roll6A hump yard with a wye off the lead. Rolling never turns a car, so turn the cut first and hump it facing the right way. Albany on 1, Boston on 2, Concord on 3.
4The Long Way Round8No wye here, but the running track is a U: a run around turns every car behind the engine. Albany on 1, Boston on 2, Concord on 3.
