This Update makes several interesting additions .... and changes.

1.  For through-service trains, working several Yd yards, the proper setoff yard is listed (instead of the next Yd yard) on the train-consist.

2.  Advancing cars, from one train (that has run) to a later train, where the two trains work the same yards.   Part of this is taking into account cars that will be setoff.  Part of this is a new way of accounting for regions in the classification routines.

3.  There is a new window for cars that are re-routed/re-classified at a yard, on account of loading.  This new window allows you to clear individual cars, or all cars, from this list.   This is where you update the "Yard Switchlist" for each yard, so that it is correct at all times.

 

4.  For printing a Workorder at a Yd yard, trains that terminate at that Yd yard no longer display (in the list of trains that can printed).

5.  For a "add-to-plan" extra, the symbol is now printed on the Cutlist.

6.  Some minor changes in how the Operations Diagnostics page works.

7.  When you classify a car from the "list of cars at a Yd yard" window, the "Reporting Trains" window is updated to show new assignments of cars to trains.

 

I will explain each of these separately.

Great updated, Jim.  I really appreciate your help with this.  I'll be running paper sessions by this evening. Best, Andy

Item 2 "Advancing cars..." requires no instructions, as the action within ProTrak is all automatic.

Just run ProTrak and enjoy your Operations.

OK?
