Here are more problems for you to solve!
Here are the rules:
1) Each picture shows where the cars should be when you start.
2) Cars and train must stay on the track
3) Each time you move a car, even if you only move the locomotive in the opposite direction, that is counted as one move.
4) You must try to solve the puzzle in as few moves as possible. The number of moves given with each problem is the number to match.
5) The siding closest to the oval is A. The outside siding is B.
