Hi Jim,Just in case I made this too confusing earlier, I'll try again. First, I hadn't been running the redirect report for each yard at the beginning of the new session. If that will fix my problem then we are all set since we will start using that report and this problem should go away.  However, if my situation is a different problem, then I hope I can make it more clear. Before any train has run at the start of the new session, in Operations, I go to "Yardmaster, Print/List cars in Yards." I open a yard and then click on "Yard Check" and then "Cars in Yard." This gives me all the cars in the yard. I then click on the "Destination/Train" header. I then look at the cars assigned to each train. It is very easy to identify the cars that should not be in that particular train because the next column shows each car's destination. I will usually find cars assigned to the wrong train, sometimes more than half the train. I will then go to the "Current Trains in Lineup" window and report each trains individually that have misrouted cars assigned and "Open" and then "Trim" the train and the cars will be removed and rerouted to their correct destination. I will then go back to the "List of cars in Yards" and verify that the trains no longer have misrouted cars assigned. Rather than go through the above procedure which can be time consuming, I found it easier to just go down the list of trains in the "Current Trains in Lineup" in Operations and open and trim all trains that originate in yards.  This is why I was hoping there could be just one command that would open and trim all trains at one time that could be used at the beginning of each session. Again, if the redirect will accomplish this, I will be all set.  I don't know if that is much clearer than the first message but hope it helps. Best, Andy
