Welcome Larry, many of us have had this same problem, and according to Jim Moir, the creator of Protrak, you can got to "Edit/Sort/sort on line customers/Sort...

Larry This is one of the GOT_YOU's that I have been trying to explain to Jim Moir. Good thinking on your part. I lost a whole weeks worth of data because of...
It sure does seem like you guys are bashing a little hard on Jim. I have never lost any date because I take 30 seconds and make a complete backup of my...
Larry Baxter noted: ... "Customer Limit". Have a look at page 53 in the Recipe Book "Understanding the Customer Limit". *All* the customers, online and...
... The mainline ferry is a separate file/animal...a ferry is not a customer and a ferry is not a train. I am pretty sure I wrote about this earlier...but.. ...
First extra train called still thinks it's a ferry in 252, Jim... Tried to call an extra in last week's session and never could get a switchlist to print as I...
... Correct. ProTrak does *not* carry over non-assigned car-orders to the next day. You can "saturate" your online traffic to maximize online traffic....that...
... I think you created a waybill/car-order pair for a staging track, in overhead traffic (not to an online customer as you wrote above.) - If it had been a...
Hi Jim, I had already done your points 1 thru 5 below, and activated a mainline ferry in Admin. (It is on the Sarnia C&O Branch, rather than the mainline, but...
Hi Jim, I understand what you are saying about the overhead traffic - if only one waybill fits the cars in staging, then it fills all of them with the same...
John, ... Set up a "Yd" yard (at each ferry terminal station).... in the usual way. Have one train that serves the ferry work the Yd yard at one terminal, and ...

Hi All, Just to let you know that I and the Nashville Road are still kicking! I will be having a mini op session Thursday night (Dec 7th). We are getting the...
Since Andy did it, so will I!!! After the recent data dump, the railroad is nearly back to normal with car loadings and locations about 95% correct. This...
Hi Jim D. and All, Good seeing your update. I wish more would do it. I know that the group is mainly for helping each other when we have problems or...

... That bug was squashed some time ago. I checked with data from three different railroads (with and without a ferry) and the "extra train" works as it...
I have the latest 252 installed, after all the changes to it, Jim. I called an extra train during a session. I set it up, did a car sort, then tried to add...
