John Barone All Messages By This Member #216890 Gentlemen,? I wish to set up a team track. this track will have multiple industries.? my dilemma is, I wish to have each industry listed individually as far as set-out and pickups go. example,? team track is called Lakeville spur,? industry is Ryan's Rebar,? I would like the train Manifest to read something like flat 123, destination Lakeville spur, set-out Ryan's Rebar.? how is the best way to go about this? John? -- Sent from my gosh darn droid! Please excuse the fat finger mistakes... John
John Stewart All Messages By This Member #216910 Hi John & Folks I believe one way to do it is to set up the team track with "phantom" numbers Team Track-1. Team Track-2. Team Track-3, for each industry The Set Out won't be "Ryan's Rebar", it will be a car type & car #, L&N 123456 for example I'm not even sure you need to have multi numbers for Team Track.? Team Track can be a destination for multiple car types, established in the "Services Car Type and or Loads" setting for the spur Team Track-1 could/would be for Ryan's Rebar, and would have the car types to be serviced, like any other spur.? You may wish to use custom loads, but I don't think it is necessary at first. Based on your?description, and the label of team track I am assuming the car won't be moved to Ryan's Rebar, it will stay at the team track dock till unloaded and then be taken away be a train.

Hi John, The program allows you to use the same physical track for several industries.? Use the "Pool" feature to do this. You would create a spur track for each of the industries that will use the team track. For example say you had three industries, you could create spurs with names like: Team Track?-> Ryan's Rebar, Team Track?-> Pete's Coal, Team Track?-> John's Lumber After creating the three tracks, you would "pool" them together.? See the help for more info. Dan

Pete Johnson All Messages By This Member #216941 Hey John, Why not just create a new location named "Lakeview Team Spur"?? Then you can name the spurs found there after each industry you want represented.? This will have a side effect of the Team track being listed separately as far as the train's route visits, but this wouldn't be too obvious on the manifest. Example: Manifest for Train 123 Scheduled work for Enola? pick up car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ?from Yard 1 pick up car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ?from Yard 2 pick up car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ?from Yard 2 pick up car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ?from Yard 5 Scheduled work for Lakeview set out car blah blah blah to ABC factory, Door 1 set out car blah blah blah to XYZ warehouse, Dock Scheduled work for Lakeview Team Spur set out car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ? ?to Ryans Rebar set out car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ? ?to John's Mercantile pick up car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ? ?from Pete's Grocery Scheduled work for Enola? set out car blah blah blah? ? ? ? ? ? to Yard 1 Train 123 terminates in Enola This requires the location to allow the trains you want working the Team Spur of course, and only those trains. Alternately, I believe if you create Lakeview and Lakeview-(Team Spur) as separate locations, the manifest will show the train visiting only "Lakeview" as one stop.? It still needs to be listed separately on the route, so the program will allow the train to do it's moves as described for each location. Happy to help, hope it helps, <Pete Johnson>

See the help for more info. For example, given 5 users each expecting a single 40'car, but the physical team track is only 135' long. Dan What if the number of users is such that if each is given one 40' car, the sum of the pool would exceed the physical length of the team track? For example, given 5 users each expecting a single 40' car but the physical team track is only 135' long.? Would you set up the pool such that each of the five individual tracks might be 27' (135/5=27) but with no reserve? The five users would fight it out for the available space and depend on the railroad to figure it out?

In this case, no more than three 40' cars would be delivered by the program (44' x 3 = 132').? Without any "pool" restrictions, each of the industries could receive 1 to 3 cars.
