I'm doing some paper studies to try to resolve a crowded yard problem that I've mentioned / alluded to before.  So that is why there are some unique / strange questions coming out of Orlando lately; but that will probably stop tomorrow as we depart on Thursday for travel.

Is there a difference between double reporting a train at it's turning point versus listing the turning point twice in the list of train reporting points? In the former a window pops up asking if I want to open the train.  When I list the turning point twice obviously that window doesn't pop  up. 

thanks

Joe

Had to ponder that one!

In effect, probably not.   A difference is that the "pickup" routine will run twice.   But all the cars to be picked up should have been picked up on the report at the first instance of the reporting point.
