Operations, Part 2

I've been reading through my collection of books and articles on model railroad operations to figure out how to get operations started on the PRR Irwin District. I actually hit on a potential idea. I already have trains scattered around the layout, I can just start with the 3 or 4 I have on the Staging tracks, call those through freights and locals and start there. Maybe ....
