Changes in how the "Yardcheck" and "All cars" work and display. The "All cars" check now serves as a Workorder Summary. Showing all the Workorders for all trains (at that moment). Instead of printing a workorder for each train (a page each) you can get the same information on just one or two pages. Easier to manage (methinks).
There are three displays shown at "List of cars in yard".
1. When you first open this window, the list of cars shown are those cars not routed.
2. Clicking the Yardcheck button lists cars for pickup at that yard (all routed).
3. Clicking the "All cars" button lists cars for pickup - plus cars assigned to trains which are in that yard.
Clicking on the "Train" column header, lists the cars by train. Printing this display becomes a "Workorder Summary".
I also added a "progress bar" as the Yardcheck may take sometime, if you have a lot cars.
~~~
The Classify button. This button allows you to classify just one car. Also, now with Update 355, this will cause a car which is extra to be assigned to the target train. i.e. regardless of whether the train is over-length (by car count, feet or tons). Or whether the car is going to a customer whose trackage is full.
If the customer trackage is full, the extra car(s) will be setoff at a customer setoff "y" track at the zone where the customer is.
This is a manual control - that lets you move cars as close as possible to a customer.
OK?

These changes started with adding in the new "Train Started" option. If a train is marked started, at a Yd yard, the cars in the train will >not< show in the third display - the Workorder Summary list.
However you have to use the "train started" option.
