Re# 865170-2              
because length of a standard goods train=0.625 m & length of a Mail/Exp=0.577 m,so 2 goods train as well as Mail/Exp train can be accomodated in a PF of course their will be cross over points in b/w to switch over to other line, in case front portion of the PF is already blocked by some other train.
