The Lab

The Shunting Yard

A night yard, a handful of wagons, and a winch with only so many pulls left in it. Nothing stops halfway, so the order you park in is the whole problem.

How it works
  1. A shunted wagon slides until something stops it — a wall, or another wagon. Never halfway.

    it runs to the wall
    unless a wagon is in the way
  2. You have a limited number of shunts. One slide is one shunt, however far it travels.

The goal

Park every wagon on its letter, before the shunts run out.
