How many MU's does track 2E hold?

• A. 6 MU's
• B. 4 MU's
• C. 2 MU's
• D. 8 MU's

Answer: (A)

Track capacity is about how many MU units can fit on a given length of track while leaving the required space at the ends and between cars. Each MU takes a standard length, plus safety margins, so you divide the track length by that total length to see how many can be placed. For track 2E, the length and safety clearances are such that six MU units fit exactly with the necessary margins. That makes six the maximum you can place there without violating spacing or end clearances. If you tried to fit more, you’d run into the end buffers; with fewer, you’d underutilize the space but still be safe. So, the track 2E holds six MU units.
