Locked Re: Build fail¡­Not using off spots or holding cars #operationspro

 

Dan,
?
I thought that if the spur was full, program checked for yard track in the same location.
?
In the build report excerpt below (from my friend's layout), a custom empty <MTY> (out of staging) cannot be sent to the target spur due to the track being full (edited to bold highlight), but then is assigned to a yard track (also bold) in the same location...<additional info : this spur's schedule is set to use only 100% from staging>

? ?Generate load for (ATSF 181642) type (Hop_LSnd) empty (E) at (ATSF_Denver-(stage, S. Denver/Trk 2) destination ()?
? ? Spur (MINTURN (Lower Yd), Minturn Yard-(Box_Insl) schedule (SLC <Sugar+Metal+CGds>) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Spur (CF&I Mill, CF&I Mill-limestone) schedule (CF&I<lime>) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Spur (MONARCH, Tipple) schedule (MONARCH<gravity>) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Spur (MP_Kansas City, Neff Yard) schedule (MP Neff) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Spur (ATSF_PUEBLO, Fuel Track) schedule (ATSF <fuel>) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Spur (Leadville, Leadville Yd-(AS&R shops) schedule (LDV <AS&R>) doesn't service type (Hop_LSnd)
? ? Try spur (Newton, SandCreek Yd-(RR Stores Trk) custom load (MTY)?
? ? Train (ATSF #413) can transport car (ATSF 181642) from staging (ATSF_Denver-(stage, S. Denver/Trk 2) to (Newton, SandCreek Yd-(RR?
? ? Stores Trk)?
? ? Route for car (ATSF 181642): (ATSF_Denver-(stage, S. Denver/Trk 2)-> (ATSF #413)-> (Newton, SandCreek Yd-(RR Stores Trk)?
? ? Can't use spur (Newton, SandCreek Yd-(RR Stores Trk) for (ATSF 181642) due to rolling stock length 40 feet, track length 165?
? ? feet, available track space 13 feet?
? ? Track (SandCreek Yd-(RR Stores Trk) full, searching for a yard at destination (Newton)?
? ? Can't use yard (Caboose) due to type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Can't use yard (SandCreek Yd(Recv)) due to type (Hop_LSnd)?
? ? Sending car (ATSF 181642) to yard (SandCreek Yd(MTYs)) at destination (Newton)?
? ?Car (ATSF 181642) custom load (MTY) final destination (Newton, SandCreek Yd-(RR Stores Trk)?
? ? Car (ATSF 181642) load (MTY) has assigned destination (Newton, SandCreek Yd(MTYs))?
? Car (ATSF 181642) assigned to train, destination (Newton, SandCreek Yd(MTYs))?
?
The car then sits in the yard-type track with the tag to be moved on into the spur when space opens up.
?
This follows what I thought the Help file lays out under the section on "Alternate Track"...
If you don't specify an alternate, the program will try to send cars with a custom load or final destination to a yard at that location.
Have I stumbled across a glitch in the matrix?? Or am I missing a variable?
?
Happy to help, hope it helps,
<Pete Johnson>
