Drew,

The "d" means "depart".   

The time listed under "Departs" is initially the "call time".   Then each time the train is reported that time is updated to the (system) clock time.

So the "d" is a symbol to remind us that the time listed, is not the call time but, has been updated.

 

~~~

As you know, you can order the list by time by clicking on the "Departs" column header.  Without this feature the time would always be the call-time, so updating the time lets us keep the list of trains in time order.

A feature requested at a ProTrak Weekend many years ago.

 

OK?

               Jim

Drew asked:

To allow for different line-ups (list of trains running) on different days-of-the-week, there must be >two< lists of trains.

* The first list, which is the list of train jobs, lists all possible trains that could run.

* The second list, which is the line-up, lists only those trains running >today<.

The message you show above, which is fine, indicates that there are trains on the list of jobs that will not appear on the line-up.

To permanently remove trains, delete the train job.

OK?

              Jim
