Locked Operations: No space despite cars to be pulled


 

I have missed something, and cannot see what.

In one spur (IGA Dr 1), I have a reefer that is scheduled to be picked up (which would make room for a new car), and I have a reefer in a yard that is supposed to be delivered there. The build report initially fails to assign the new car due to no room. Then further down, the build report assigns the P/U from the spur but it is too late for the delivery. I mistakenly had thought that aggressive mode with 2 passes would solve that.

I have worked around that by making the route for that train go to that town twice, once from the yard, then again after returning to the yard. The build report therefore assigns the car to be picked up in the 1st visit, then assigns the car to be delivered in the 2nd visit (to an empty spur).


I had wanted to make the train take the new car with and merely swap the P/U with the S/O (as I suspect the prototype did).

Is this the build report that works, or the one that fails?

Ooops. Your question made me realize that I was having this conversation after apparently being misled by someone (maybe the engineers) into believing this is a problem. It appears now that I am mistaken about the full spur causing delay in setouts (I knew I was missing something).

After the last Op Session, the question was raised to me why cars cannot be delivered to a full spur when a pickup is scheduled. I thought it would work, but when I hurriedly looked at the build report and saw the initial rejection due to spur length (without looking further), I then changed my route to allow another visit (incorrectly) thinking that this was the problem. If I _had_ looked further in the build report, I would have found that the rejected car is re-visited and assigned to that spur. I have built all the trains for July 1 Ops Session, but will go back and fix it (in my spare? time).

What I posted was parts of the build report from my "work-around" route where the train goes back to that town a second time.

However, after reading your question, I went back and looked at previous switchlists and build reports (which I should have done rather than relying on anecdotal evidence from casual observations of the layout), and this is not an issue. Looking at each of the previous 3 months (monthly Op Sessions), cars are picked up and setout at the single-car spurs on the same visit. Meaning that the aggressive mode does work as expected, contradicting the casual report from the layout.

Dan, thanks for taking the time to read and reply, and thanks for your excellent contributions to an amazing suite of programs known as JMRI.
