normally there is a spur track for freight cars to be left for loading. if the spur is no too long, it shouldn't take much time to swap the cars. but if the spur is very long, it might take some time to pull the loaded car out and push the empty back up the spur.
how long would a spur need to be before a switch and additional trackage added to make it convenient to swap the cars on the spur?
is it even a good idea to have long spurs on mode railroad?
i hope i've explained this well enough. i'd appreciate it if someone would explain the correct terms to use.
