+# Minimizing Train Traffic
+## Basics
+- Set up as many "parking lot" train stations as you have trains then add the interrupt below.
+- Turn off as many stations as you can using conditions. (Both pick up and drop off stations, turn them off if possible!)
+- If a station is full or disabled the train will go to the parking lot.
+  - In the parking lot, trains will wait 30sec before checking to see if the station is open.
+  - If the station is enable (and not full) the train will go to it.
+  - If the station is disabled (or full) the train will stay at the parking lot station (and wait 30sec before checking again).
 ## The Interrupt
-Set up as many parking lot train stops as you have trains then add this interrupt.

-- If a station's train limit is set to 2 but you have 3+ trains that want to go to that station, the 3rd+ trains will go to the parking lot. The train will wait 30sec in the parking lot before checking to see if the station is open. If the drop-off station is enable and not full the train will go to it. If the drop-off station is disabled or full the train will stay at the parking lot station and wait 30sec before checking again.
