Track Numbering Scheme

The track numbering scheme is adopted from the following source: ZTS Maps Philadelphia Division Volume 6. I have decided to make a small change to make it easier to identify tracks on the layout. Below is the numbering scheme that I will be using for the layout.

Notes

1: On the original that this scheme is developed from, this entire block (400-499) is reserved for special applications. For this layout I have decided to label Amtrak main tracks as the 400-425 group, and platform tracks as the 426-450 group. The group sizes will change as time goes on to properly reflect the actual number of main and platform tracks available.
