When operating in "Session" mode or "Daily" mode, towards the end of the "day" the number of ttrains available for routing cars becomes small.   Two issues were obvious (but the 'fix' wasn't, at least to me/us):  cars tended to be not routed and tended to accumulate in yards... and those cars which were routed sometimes assumed some truly bizzare routes.

If you clicked on "Yardmaster/Yard Operatons" and then "List of cars in yard" and then "Unrouted cars" you would, most likely have found that half of all the cars in the yard were "un-routed".  That meant that the trains had run (or were full).

This Update completes "fixes" for these issues.

ProTrak now finds the best route for all cars at all times.   If the appropriate train has run, cars will be assigned to that train as "extras".  If there are multiple appropriate trains, and all have run, cars will be assigned to the earliest train after the current fast-clock time, as "extras".  

( As always, later, you can change those cars-to-train assignments, building trains manually. )

Now, with Update 329, when you click on "Yardmaster/Yard Operatons", "List of cars in yard", "Unrouted cars" you should see >no< cars listed.
