Hi Jim,

I have 15 RI and B&O cars congregating in Ribo Yard destined for empty storage. I don't have room in Ribo for more than a few cars to be stored.  I would like to have these cars be sent back to a staging track.

Messing around with the data, I deleted the storage yard RIB-03y, set the Rstore train to "Does not run," and removed the RIB-03y track from Ribo's storage yard selection and selected no storage yard for Ribo.  I did this to see if the cars would be rerouted to a staging track.  I can easily reverse all these changes if I should have a storage yard at Ribo.  

Then I looked at the Car Service Directive window to see if I could use that to move the B&O and RI cars but think that is only good for the Nashville Road, not the secondary railroads.  Is this correct?

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Andy

Best, Andy Keeney

Look out for #1 but don't step in #2!!

You can make a user-defined Car Service Directive for the homeroad plus two any other railroads, for a total of three car ownerships. 

(And you can have up to 10 user-defined CSR.   So, if you devoted all your CSR to the same carkind and size you could direct up to 30 car ownerships.)
