Jim,

In setting up for a session I use the "re-block trains in staging" to reduce wear and tear on the yardmasters. I noted that these lists do not indicate which order the cars are in, i.e. loco to cab. How can I tell?

Also, I have several coal trains and coal empty trains that run during a session from staging to staging. Now, I have them set as connecting trains and have to unload and load the coal loads in the hoppers before each session.

As of now, I have these trains set that the power runs around the train; however, if I set the option that the train starts from this staging, or train continues as same train, will either of these options eliminate my need to swap loads from cars?

Many thanks.

Jim Brewer
