Actually, Connelly Creek wouldn't be able to keep up with that. Each log track at Connelly produces 12 logs per day, and each log car holds 3 logs. 4 * 3 = 12, so Connelly can keep up. 5 * 3 = 15, and 6 * 3 = 18, both of which are more than any track at Connelly produces daily.

I'm currently running Tier 4 Whittier Saw with two trains of 17 cars, one train Connolly and the other Walker Lower, coming in on alternating days, one run each. The Connolly train gets split between L2 and L3, no burying.

Day 1: The Connolly train comes down the branch and get shoved into the unload track.

Day 2: Connolly train gets pulled and the remaining five cars that don't fit, get run around to the end of the train and stuck back in the siding, once that's done unloading it goes back up to the creek. Then the Walker train comes down on the evening freight from Bryson to be unloaded.

Day 3, Walker train gets its' remaining five cars unloaded and then it gets tacked onto the end of the freight bound for Bryson. In Bryson, a dedicated logging locomotive then takes it up to Walker Lower. Beyond that, repeat Day 1.

Day 4: Repeat Day 2.

Day 5: Repeat Day 3

Etcetera.

Haven't done anything with Pulpwood yet.

I am assuming this is using the vanilla pulpwood racks. I have modded in Pulpwood gons that hold up to 82.5T of pulp, also a bit longer. Would 14-20 cars of that work in lou of the 28 (assumed) vanilla?

Connelly Creek L1 holds 5 cars, L2 holds 8, and L3 holds 7 (if you run around the cut of cars and shove in)

I haven't done anything with the Walker area yet, so I don't know how big those tracks are

why not put 5 cars in L1 for sawmill (it fits)

For the Whittier Saw Mill, I feel like using a 5-6-0 method is easier than the 4-4-4 for basically any tier.

whittlier sawmill is not even that hard to do tier 5 at. 3 sets of 5, 6 trips per day one from each spur, easy matched output. plus you have extra 2 logs per day per spur so you can run an extra car each day until the pond is full full if you want. also with buying only 2 extra long stakes, you can deal with tier 4 just using l1 and l2. so again, whittier sawmill is so easy to make the big bucks.

Great work! Thanks for the info. I gave you a treasure award for the handy guide!

I'm at Tier 1 for Whittier right now, but I have the cars for Tier 2, I find it's better to have 2-4 extra cars loaded with logs to give wiggle room when out on runs to Connolly that way you have some logs for the mill while your waiting for the main run to come back.

Also, with just a bit more jiggling around, the P2 track in Connolly holds extra 4 cars a day, bringing the total to 16. Which would be perfect for a daily run servicing both Paperboard and Tannery at tier 4. 😁
