If the loco draws the majority of the train onto the headshunt then a second loco waiting on the loco spur could attach to the rear and haul it out again. But even then it looks like the last couple of wagons wouldn't reach the bunker to load/unload. And is that a reasonable statement to make about the method of operation in the exam, ie having a loco sitting around not doing a great deal?

Maybe I'm missing something, my knowledge of operational methods on these types of areas is pretty slim...I have attached a picture of the offending area.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
