One Industry, Seven Tracks #operationspro


 

Greetings. Can JMRI be set up to work on just one industry? I have an ADM plant. It contains seven tracks. Track one to load DDG into Covered Hoppers. Tracks 2 and 3 for incoming corn loads to be dumped. Tracks 4, 5 and 6 for storage. Could me loads waiting for an open spot. Could be empties that need to be picked up by the local to be sent to the midwest for more corn. Track 7 to load ethanol for shipment. Tracks 1, 2 and 3 can hold 3 cars each.? Tracks 4, 5 and 6 can hold 4 cars each. Track 7 can hold 3 tank cars.
?
What I envision is a local train delivers loads and empties on a regular basis. Then a dedicated plant switcher does the grunt work. Pulling empty cars from 2 and 3 and bringing loaded cars in from storage. The switcher would move loads under the shed and over the pits. I was thinking having an alarm set up on my phone to ring every few minutes to indicate a car is empty, push the next one in. Something like that.
?
So looking for some guidance.
Thanks
