1.  added.  If there is a "y" setoff track at a zone, and the customer in that same zone receiving the cars is full (even after pickups), the extra cars will be setoff at the "y" track in that zone.  Provided there is room at the "y" track.

 

2. more "Session" mode "end-of-session" issues.   ProTrak always tries to find a routing for a car.  With fewer trains to route a car on near the end of a session (day) some oddball "complicated" routings may occur.  The car routings calculated near the end of session will carry over to the next session - and "eyebrows may be raised".

A check for "complicated" routings has been added.  If a routing involves finding 3 (or more) possible routings, which were rejected because at least on train in the routing had completed, the car is assigned to the first routing found.  Because that is the routing that would be used, normally, at the beginning of the 'session' (day).
