How are multiple tracks designated when viewing them in a northward or eastward timetable direction?

When viewing multiple tracks in a northward or eastward timetable direction, the tracks are designated by numbering from left to right, starting with Main 1. This system helps ensure consistency and clarity for engineers, conductors, and maintenance personnel when identifying and referencing tracks. Proper designation of tracks is crucial for safe operations, as it allows train crews to quickly understand track layouts and navigate them efficiently.

By numbering from left to right, the convention aligns with the typical direction of travel for trains, facilitating easy comprehension during operations. This designation method is standardized across many railroads, reducing confusion and errors, and ensuring that everyone involved in train operations is aligned in their understanding of the track layout.
