I was wondering on the layout that I operate on we have several customers that all receive loads of coal and ship out empties.

I am thinking that I can just create a schedule (call it coal) that will allow me to have my fleet of hoppers run in cycle of coming in from staging loaded getting routed to the industries and then the empties going back off line to be reloaded.

?

Currently I have set up custom loads of LD coal and MTY coal but I am having the issues that when the car gets empty they end up getting routed whichever way the computer decides to do. which create an issue of the cars not getting back to the proper staging location to get reloaded. I have also set it to where the car is empty to return it to said staging area (in this Case Omaha to interchange with the UP). I also get a message saying that car may not return to destination due to load (E) for some reason I can change it to say MTY coal.

?

Thank you?

Can you provide us with a screenshot of your schedule?? In the schedule you should demand for your coal car a load of coal "LD coal" and ship out "MTY coal" to your staging.? When you created the "MTY coal" did you make it a load type "Empty"?

Ashley,

Here's a schedule that demands a coal car with a load of "Coal" and ships out a load of "MTY" to Lakeview which is staging on my railroad.
