Tracks with IDs are station tracks with unique addresses. These addresses allow them to be referred to in delivery orders, as well as to navigate to them with station maps.
Other than in books, track IDs are also shown on physical signs. Track ID signs are pole-mounted structures found on the right side of the respective tracks, on their both ends, designed to inform of their ID. Regardless of the signs' position, however, the tracks span the entire section from switch to switch.
If we take an ID example of "C-06S", "C" here represents a particular yard in the station, identifiable using the station map. "06" indicates a specific track in that yard. "S" indicates the storage purpose of the given track. There are a few track types:
I - Input
This is where freight haul deliveries arrive.
O - Output
This is where freight haul deliveries depart from.
S - Storage
This is where empty cars are stored for shunting and logistical haul deliveries.
L - Cargo Transfer
This is where cars are loaded and unloaded, using the cargo transfer machine.
LP - Passenger Transfer
This is a track with a platform where the passengers and mail get transferred from.
SP – Passenger Storage
This is where coaches and railcars are parked.
