The following is the solution of Railroad Puzzle, on page 624:
1. The "first half" of the passenger train (including the engine) goes down, and backs up on the switch.
2. The freight train goes up by the switch, and lets the "first half" of the passenger train out on the main track below.
3. The freight train couples on to the "last half" of the passenger train, goes down, then pushes up on the switch, and leaves it.
4. The freight train backs off the switch, and then goes ahead about its business.
5. The "first half" of the passenger train backs upon the switch and gets the "last half" of itself, and goes on about its business.
