From the example location Schedule shown on page 34 of the Manual, it appears that the "Count" number one chooses determines how many of a specific 'car type' a train will set out and/or pick up on the designated day.? ?That example is for a train to set out 2 SP boxcars and an "oil" tank car at Boyd Bindery.? The "Sequential" radio button is lit up.
?
On page 36 of the Manual, under COUNT, it states:
For example, a count of 3 is equal to entering the exact same schedule item three times in a row
?
then under Schedule Example says:
In the schedule shown above, the schedule is operating in sequential mode and is requesting two SP boxcars in a row with any load, then a tank car with with a load of "Oil".
?
I have a spur that takes:
- 12 ore loads (Hopper Ore) inbound on Monday and Thursday, with the same 12 ore cars as empties outbound on Tuesday and Friday
- 8 coke loads (Hopper Coke) inbound on Tuesday, with the same 8 coke cars as outbound empties later the same day
- 6 limestone loads (Hopper Lmstn) inbound on Wednesday and Saturday, with the same 12 limestone cars as empties on Thursday and Monday.
Do I set the "count" to 12 for the ore cars, 8 for the coke cars, and 6 for the Limstone cars?
?
Thank you for the guidance.
