One of the requests, from the October Weekend, was to provide a Yardmaster with the expected arrival time of a train.

In Yard Operations, there is an option to print the list of trains that work a yard.   This list was intended to be printed once, at the beginning of a day (session).   The list shows the call-time for each train.   The list provides a Yardmaster with the order in which trains will arrive/depart such that he knows which trains need to be worked now and which can be left to be worked later.

Printing this list just once does work, on smaller railroads or if trains are called in Line-up order.

If a train is advanced (called out of line-up order) we have found that this "printing once" isn't sufficient.   Also, on larger railroads with longer travel times, trains may not arrive a yard in call-time (line-up) order.   In either case the Yardmaster's priorities have to change.   (Have I captured the thought and discussion correctly?)

~~~

ProTrak has updated train call-times as a session progresses.  A train's last departure time (reported time) is shown on the "Report train" window.

With Update 341, this last "reported time" is now taken into account on the Yardmaster's list of trains working his yard.  The list of trains is now sorted by "reported time".  Now the Yardmaster knows which trains he should be working >now<.

And the list should be re-printed as often as a Yardmaster wishes/requires.

OK?
