The traffic here is made up of a TEE train, a local freight train and a museum train. The model is DB in the 1970's. The TEE train is to bee disturbed as little as possible when freight cars are being moved between the six loading/marshalling tracks. The destinations of the freight cars are decided by dice being rolled, and they are marked on a lego plate. The museum train disposes space when the freight train does not run, that is when shunting is taking place on the track leading to the crane. The only passenger station of the layout (at the straight side of the lower/left loop) is used by the museum train. The cars of this train are parked on the track next to the engine stable.
