How does OpPro differently use yard tracks and classification tracks?

I only use staging, spurs and C/I tracks mainly because I don't have a good idea as how to use a yard track.

Is there a reference where I could better understand the role of a yard track in the Ops scheme of things?

I don't remember the difference between yard and I/C but the way things were explained to me in the begining I could not see why the way I wanted to run my RR why one would ever pick yard over I/C so I chose I/C works great for me. Cars coming in to the "yard" are sorted by next destination on the tracks which cuts down on the amount of switching done in the "yard" for outbound crews. Most of the time my crews kick 1 or 2 cars out of a track jjust because the is no place to go at that time.
I think it was Inspector Dave that got me on that particular rabbit hole. It works just the way it's supposed to in my mind, Thanks.?

Hello Michael,

The way I've always understood it C/I (Classification / Interchange) tracks are used to route cars from one train to another to get them to their final destination while yard tracks are used mostly for car storage.? An example is I use yard tracks for Off Spot storage,?while with C/I tracks I can specify which trains can make pick ups and set?outs to specific tracks.? Hope this helps.
