Locked Re: track doesn't accept custom loads even though track is configured to accept all loads #operationspro


 

Tom,
?
This particular conflict can arise when the car with the custom load has no final destination.? When the program encounters a car with a custom load but no place in mind to send it, it will search all spurs to try and find one with a schedule that calls for the car-type and load state (e.g. Box_paper, loaded, paper roll). This rule applies to cars NOT assigned a home division.
?
In the use of divisions, the search for where to move an Empty car involves the program trying to find a home division yard to which the car car be sent, then any staging in the home division.? Once that check has been made, it then tries to find a spur with a SCHEDULE to which to send the car (since it has a custom load).
?
Your issue stems from the fact that your car was unloaded at Salmon Arm (Banff Div.) where it became an "Empty".? The division rules then try to get it back to a Kamloops Div. yard or staging track.? Apparently, it cannot find a yard track or staging track in the Kamloops Div...
Could not find a reachable Yard for car (BCIT 1002) load (E(HP))
Could not find a reachable Staging for car (BCIT 1002) load (E(HP))
So then it tries to send it to a spur in the Kamloops Div.
When checking all spurs, it rejects those spurs that are in the wrong division (Banff Div.),

Ignoring spur (Revelstoke (GE-FM-Y), grain elevator) wrong division (Banff) for car (BCIT 1002) empty (E(HP))
Ignoring spur (Revelstoke (GE-FM-Y), feed mill) wrong division (Banff) for car (BCIT 1002) empty (E(HP))
Ignoring spur (Golden (MF), machinery factory) wrong division (Banff) for car (BCIT 1002) empty (E(HP))
Ignoring spur (Salmon Arm (DC-Y), distribution centre) wrong division (Banff) for car (BCIT 1002) empty (E(HP))
Ignoring spur (Banff (WH), warehouse) wrong division (Banff) for car (BCIT 1002) empty (E(HP))
?
And for those spurs that it finds in the Kamloops Div., it finds one which cannot service the car because it is the wrong type...
?
Destination (Blue River (CD-F), fuel) can't service car (BCIT 1002) with load (E(HP)) due to type (XM).
One that can service the car-type (and load) but has no room when the attempt to move was made...
?
Destination (Blue River (CD-F), cross-dock) can't service car (BCIT 1002) with load (E(HP)) due to rolling stock length 44 feet, available track space 18 feet
?
And finally, the other two spurs reject the car because (as Dan pointed out) there is no schedule calling for that custom load (which is actually a custom empty in your case).
?
Destination (Valemount (LM), lumber mill) can't service car (BCIT 1002) with load (E(HP)) due to car has a custom load (E(HP))
Destination (Jasper (FD), freight depot) can't service car (BCIT 1002) with load (E(HP)) due to car has a custom load (E(HP))
Sometimes the build report doesn't tell the whole tale, so to speak, about why the car is rejected.? In this case, you needed to have provided a optional schedule at Valemount.? This is pretty easy to do, just follow below...

Start by opening the Edit window for the "lumber mill" spur at Valemount.



This will open a new window as below...







Click "Save" and you should now have a schedule to which your XMs with their E(HP) status can be sent in the Kamloops Division.
The key is to provide a spur to which the empty (HP) cars can go.? If you have other types of cars, create additional schedules at suitable spurs at which those car-types can be accepted...

Happy to help, hope it helps,
