I have the above mentioned car on my layout and every time I do the Daily Summary I get the message that ProTrak cannot route this car. I think it is possibly because this car a) does not end in an "x" or b) obviously SHELL is not a name of a railroad.  Any suggestions on how to get this car routed would be greatly appreicated.

I'm right now starting paper sessions with operations going Mon to Sat. inclusive.

thanks

Joe

Joe,

Check the manual, Chapter 7-13

I belive you need a "Return Empty to" location.

Joe,

I have a large number of tank cars on my layout; tank cars were usually restricted to a specific load; what I have done is to restrict the tank car to the load specified on my BOL and set the return empty to the staging track, or on-line customer, that will load the car. That should do it.
