Due to the fact that the locomotives are limited by the directions they may move while carrying a load, precise and calculated steps must be taken to dock the tank cars for fueling. This process could involve moving, coupling and uncoupling multiple cars, multiple times, to properly maneuver the right cars into the fueling station.
