Diagram 170: Engine is moving backward to enter the bridge
If the engine is assigned to block “Entry” facing to the left then the engine moves backward
to the bridge after start of the schedule. Compare Diagram 167 with Diagram 170:
in the first case the engine is moving forward, in the second case the engine is moving
backward.
Since the engine is already oriented to the left only a short or direct move, respectively,
to the selected roundhouse track is performed. Compare Diagram 168 / Diagram 169
with Diagram 171. In the first case a long clockwise turn is performed in order to
change the orientation of the engine from right to left. During this move the bridge
passes the turn boundary. In the second case a short/direct move can be performed because
the orientation of the engine is not to be changed.
