Transfer tracks questions

Hmm, lesseee. Here in Las Vegas.....

Canyon Blaster (Arrow): Two parallel ready break sections lie in the tunnel before the station. To add a train the track slides sideways. Since both have breaks either one can be used. For the ride ops, we send a train to the lift and turn the mode key to "transfer". This sets the ready breaks and shuts off the lift. Maintenance jogs the new train in line with the track. The track bolts are reinserted and the train "unchalked". Block checks, and then away we go. When they paint the trains or do the annual rehab, there is a door with a lift type thing that can take the individual cars off the track and below the dome. You can see this door to the left of the snack bar.

Speed: The Ride (Premier): There is only one train so it stays on there, but in the event a train needs to be removed, the back door is rolled up and a crane can lift the cars of the track from Sahara Ave.

Lightning Bolt at The Park (Intamin/Arrow): Since the ride was originally built by Intamin there is the S-curve piece of track. To add a train this piece slides over and a train comes out the train shed. To remove a train, the train is parked just outside the station. Once the track switches the train is jogged backwards into the shed.

Manhattan Express (Togo): Very similar to the Intamin Rides, the "S" track slides into place.

Desperado (Arrow): Much like the other big Arrows. One sliding track with 4 storage tracks.
