Hi Mike,
You're doing nothing wrong, the program can only move a car to an empty space, or one that's going to be vacated.? One trick is to tell the program that a track with a car will always get pulled.? Is this the case with the coal track, that when a new coal car arrives, there will be room for the empty car on the float?? If so, tell the program to ignore the occupancy at Hooker Furniture coal track by setting planned pickups to 100%.
You could also use the alternate track feature, is there space for one car near the car float?? If so, make that an alternate track for the float.? Now the program will use the alternate to pull the empty coal car, and then move the loaded coal car from the float freeing up space, and once the space is freed up, will cancel the alternate track move, and send the empty coal car directly to the float.
Either solution should work for you, there may be others,
Dan
