Hi Jim and All, Thought I'ld look at some of the different lists to see what I could learn as I run my computer sessions with updated data. Under "Edit /...
Andy, Rather than my trying to guess, on all the settings in effect, how about you send me your latest data? And which cars (by list number).... Thanks, Jim ...
... a) >is an explanation of the blocking assignments ... This comment/question, of course, refers only to a local service train (a local), and how cars could...
It may also be useful to review the section about switching customers, in the Recipe Book, pages 51 to 53. There is a discussion there about different ways...
LOL... Well, not if you want to change the blocking without having to open all 200+ customers and edit each individual train now that you have a BETTER...
Hi Jim(s), I am in the same boat as Jim D. When I set my switching jobs up with many multiples of customers each, I had no idea how they should be...
That's EXACTLY what I'd like to be able to do here. Question: Wouldn't it be more appropriate to select customers when you set up a train rather than go...
Actually Jim M, since it is the (railroad) that has to do the work to keep th customer happy, I would say that it is train driven. The customer could care ...
I agree with Andy. There have been a lot of times that I wished that I would have used block numbers in 10's, especially when I've added new customers and then...
... You can. You should. "As it mentions in the two manuals..." the customer blocking numbers do _not_ have to be consecutive. You can leave "holes". Jim...
Sounds like a good "Nugget" Jim.  Rather than just state that you can, it may be very helpful if you added an explanation as to why it would be a good...
... I have been doing this from the start. Each town has its own block of numbers that is not duplicated for any trains that service that area. This way all...
There was a comment earlier about "wanting to block trains coming out of staging by destination" but not being able to do so because the "destination of the...
Was re-re-reading some "Proceedings, American Association of Railroad Superintendents" and came across this quote from Hasselman during a panel discussion: ...
You can do the same thing without going into Operations mode; from the program, select Transportation/Re-block Trains between sessions/Re-block a train in...
Aloha It is way early but I am wondering if any preliminary schedule exist. I am considering using the Southwest Chief. Booking Amtrak as far out as you can...
Hi Jim B, One of the things that I found when I was using the switchlist in Ops mode to determine the car blocking was that if there were two interim stops...
Nice Tip, Jim B!! Thanks John ... From: James F. Brewer <jfbrewer@...> Subject: Re: [ProTrak] re-blocking for destination for a train in staging To:...
Hi Eric, Good to hear that you are planning to attend. The Acela is waiting!! ;-)  I think that the agenda will probably follow earlier agendas where we...
The previous quote was within the context of a discussion explaining to superintendents, those being "middle management" and perhaps the last group to get...
Last weekend I had a short session here on the GM&O which experienced the start of a traffic meltdown. Some background. I have made NO changes to the program...
Jim D., Sounds like the line-up is out-of-date. The "added yard" suggests that. You need to re-form the line-up. (Find a train that is not moving - change...
OK, I'll print this procedure out and have it at hand as I work through the next session. I have already corrected the yarding for the errant train... JD ... ...
