I put a reply to this earlier, but it seems to have not gone out to all in this group, so trying again.

Rick,

I have found that by using custom loads and schedules, the cars all have final destinations that are not the yard, even though the train terminates at a yard. In your case, the yards at York and Baltimore need to be defined as C/I tracks for all this to work.

In my club's layout, we modified the location settings for the yard to allow the cars to be pointed to the correct classification track, with each classification track being defined for one or more trains to pick up from that track. So, again, in your case, one of the tracks in Baltimore would be set to allow BY11 (which services town A) to pick up cars. BY11 would not pick up from any other classification track.
So, in my club's operations, the car picked up by YB10 at C would have a final destination of A, and on arrival at Baltimore, would now have the track for BY11 as its destination (but not final destination).

We do the same as you as far as building all the trains for a session, running the session and terminating all trains at the end of the session. The key to get the cars correctly assigned to the correct train to complete the run is twofold: 1. use custom loads and schedules to give each car a final destination, and 2. set the classification yards to only allow one train to pickup from each track in the yard, but allow all terminating trains to set-out on all tracks. You can, during a session, have the train crew do the final classification, or, as we do, pass the paperwork to the switching crew on arrival to do the actual classification.

Works a real treat.?
