    The train is 228 hoppers, hauled by eight locos spaced at 25 hopper intervals until the 7th and 8th locos, where the number of hoppers are increased between the last locos and the tail-end hopper.

      @@pcpug
      Before considering the phenotypic effects of the so-called albino or c-series of alleles (chromosome 7) it should be emphasized that although albinism is epistatic to all other coat-color determinants, i.e., all mice, regardless of genotype, lack pigment in the presence of c/c ( Plate 2-A), albino mice nevertheless possess a full complement of pigment cells. Thus the inability of albino animals to produce pigment stems not from an absence of melanocytes, as is the case for white spotting, but from a deficiency and/or alteration of the structure of tyrosinase in melanocytes which are otherwise normal.
      A. Evidence for the Occurrence of Amelanotic Melanocytes
      Evidence that albino animals possess a nonfunctioning population of melanocytes-appropriately known as "amelanotic melanocytes"-stems from a variety of observations, most of which were made in the mouse.
      When the hair bulbs of albino mice are examined histologically and compared with those originating from white-spotted areas, they are strikingly different. Whereas the hair bulbs of white-spotted areas are characterized by matrices consisting of regularly arranged cells of equal size, (Figures 3-10 and 3-11), albino hair bulbs contain, in addition, many large "clear" cells in their upper bulb region ( Chase and Rauch, 1950; Silvers, 1956) ( Figure 3-12a). Since these large cells with an apparently hyaline cytoplasm are similar in morphology and location to the pigment-containing cells found in lightly pigmented phenotypes ( Figure 3-12b), they are considered to be amelanotic melanocytes ( Silvers, 1956).
      Further evidence for this conclusion stems from the observation that the experimentally depigmented melanocytes of black and yellow mice maintained on a biotin-deficient diet are indistinguishable from the clear cells of albinos, though they retain their dopa-positive character ( Quevedo, 1956). Moreover, both clear cells and melanocytes exhibit similar sensitivities to X-rays. Thus, when the skin of albino mice in the resting stage of hair growth is exposed to 1200 r of irradiation, a dose known to destroy almost completely the melanocyte population in resting hairs of pigmented animals ( Chase, 1949; Chase and Rauch, 1950), there is a marked destruction of follicular clear cells ( Quevedo, 1957). This similar radiosensitivity of clear cells and melanocytes, added to the morphological evidence noted above, indicate further that clear cells are in fact amelanotic melanocytes. This conclusion was substantiated again when it was demonstrated that clear cells, like melanocytes, are derived from the neural crest.
      The neural crest originates embryologically between the junction of the neural tube and its overlying ectoderm and is initially continuous from head to tail. As development proceeds, however, its constituent cells migrate ventrolaterally on either side of the spinal cord and at the same time become segmentally clustered (see Chapter 1, note 3). In the mouse this anterior to posterior and mediolateral migration of neural crest cells, from their place of origin to their definitive positions, takes place between the eighth and twelfth day of embryonic development (the gestation in mouse is about 20 days), as demonstrated in the classic experiments of Rawles ( 1940, 1947, 1953). Thus, by transplanting tissues derived from various regions of C57BL/6 mouse embryos of different ages to the coelom of the chick embryo, Rawles was able to demonstrate that only those explants which included cells of neural crest origin produced melanocytes. She found neural crest cells to be confined to the region of the neural tube in 8.5- to 9-day-old embryos and only when this region was included in grafts of this age did melanocytes develop. By approximately 11 days of age, however, she found that cells of neural crest origin had made their way into almost all regions of the body so that skin ectoderm and adhering mesoderm removed from almost any level of the trunk (but not from the limb buds) produced pigmented hairs when transplanted to the chick coelom. Limb buds receive migrating melanoblasts between the eleventh and twelfth days of gestation and only at this time did limb-bud ectoderm and adhering mesoderm give rise to pigmented hairs.
      Once this "timetable" for the migratory pathway of neural crest cells was established, and it was substantiated that the melanocytes of pigmented animals were derived from these cells, it was easy to demonstrate that they likewise differentiated into the clear cell or putative amelanotic melanocyte population of albino animals. This was accomplished by showing that hair bulbs in the skin of grafts which differentiated from albino embryo explants possessed clear cells only when the explant was known to contain cells of neural crest origin ( Silvers, 1958c) (Figure 3-13a and d). Indeed, the fact that the hair bulbs of skin known to be deprived of its neural crest component were indistinguishable from those normally originating in white-spotted areas (Figure 3-13b and c) provided the strongest evidence that white spotting resulted from an absence of melanocytes, pigmented or otherwise ( Silvers, 1958c). 10

    This might _look_ crazy, but I can see some real-world potential for this sort of thing. If you have a train yard with A LOT of one single type of car, you could just build one of these spirals and pull out one car at a time (or even a group of them) as necessary. It would save a lot of space compared to the average size of today’s train yards! You would need an absolutely _astronomical_ number of engines in there to move everything, though, so it could get very expensive very quickly over time.
