Jim,

I have a  coal tower on a service track. I cannot seem to figure out how to set up a service track, and cannot find anything Appendix L of the PTBM. Your guidance would be appreciated.

thanks

Joe,

"Traffic".   "Locomotive service tracks".  "Edit/new service track".

Select the radio button for "delivery track to coaling tower".  Enter a name at "Industry name", select a city and enter a track number.

Click "OK".

~~~~

i.e. it is just another customer.

OK?

Thanks Jim, I'm just not used to looking up at the top tool bar on a ProTrak screen.

OK,

I was able to successfully set up my coaling tower as a customer.  But now I cannot seem to find a way to assign a train to service that track.

thanks

Joe,

On the "edit" page for the service track, where you set up the "coaling tower delivery track", the bottom pane "This track".  Third line is "Switching train" and fourth line is "Switching block".

OK?

Thanks Jim,

I had originally clicked on "coaling tower" and not "delivery track for coaling tower".
