3. There is a new window for cars that are re-routed/re-classified at a yard
This is where you update the "Yard Switchlist" for each yard, so that it is correct at all times.
This new window allows you to clear individual cars, or all cars, from this list.
During the "Daily Summary" the car-distributor assigns car-orders/waybills to cars. The most appropriate car, based on the car service rules, is assigned a car-order/waybill. The car could be anywhere, including in a yard, having been already classified to a block going to its home point.
The new assigment may cause a car to be re-routed (for example, from "going home empty" to "load at this customer"). So the car may have to be re-classified, to another block/train.
This is the purpose of the "Yard Switchlist", to direct a car to be moved from one class track to another class track.
~~~
In "Yard Operations" you have the option to print a "Yard Switchlist". One for each yard.
This Update allows you to report that the work was done, which removes the affected cars from the "Yard Switchlist".
In Operations, under the "Yardmaster" menu, click on "Show classified cars" (2nd item from top). This opens a list showing all the cars that have been classified. At the bottom of this window there is a new button (bright yellow) "Re-routed cars".
Clicking this button opens a new window, listing >all< the cars that have been re-classified/rerouted at >all< the yards. You can print this list. You can remove a car from the list (report that work has been done) by clicking on the car (line) then clicking on "Clear one car". You can also clear the entire list, with one click, by clicking "Clear entire list".
OK? Questions? Suggestions?
