15_Staging at Windhoek

Staging is where trains leave Windhoek for Gobabis and the deep south, including South Africa. Planning on parking 14 trains in staging, so that they are ready to appear back in Windhoek when needed. This will give the yard operator a little more time at the beginning of an operating session to build his/her first train, by letting a staged one go first!
