Hello PT Users How do I force my stock cars to the cleaning track once unloaded? I tried to create a bol to do a continuing in transit operation, but bol's...
... Joe, Don't use the cleaning track!! No, really! Create a new customer as Stock Car Cleaning (SCC-01) and use that as your continuing in transit location. ...
Well Howard, That is a most interesting way of getting your cars cleaned!! I had set up two cleaning tracks via the regular way in "traffic/rip, cleanout and...
Jim Moir I really hate to keep complaining but my frustration level is going up and my train crews are about ready to mutiny if I can't get something done...
... Don, To keep from working both outbound and return trips you might need to change your trains. I assume that you are running something like 501/502 and the...
Hello everyone, There was an email some time ago about setting up a parallel RR and my name was mentioned. I thought that I might bring some thoughts to the...
Thanks Howard Yes I have something similar to501/502. If I were to use say 501 and 502 then I would assume 502 would leave the yard and run to the turn ...
Don, I think that your turn 501/502 goes from yard A to yard B as 501 on the outward run, then changes to 502 from yard B to yard A where it terminates its...
John Yard A is the only real yard I have so all switching trains originate and terminate there. Yard B is a reporting and turn around point only after the...

John V I will have to look at that as a work around. It sounds like a good plan, but it would be nice if the program would handle all customers correctly...
Don I have EXACTLY the same problem as you are having with facing/trailing points. I posted a question earlier this year in April (see message 8160 and ...
Hi Don, I have a switching train that originates at a "y" reporting point and another that terminates at a "y" reporting point, so I don't think the lack of a...

Howard I will be the first to admit I understand very little about how ProTrak really works so another question about setting up 2 separate trains one outbound...
Ok I am starting to see why Turns are not working the way I thought they did and why I am having problems with trailing point and facing point customers. So I...
Don Lyon, ... The program does it....if you provide the trains. Example... 1. Suppose you want to have "a train" that runs from A out to B, and does no...
Don Lyon, ... 1. When you have a turn such as 501/502, they share customer assignments. Any Customer assigned to be switched by 501 will be switched by 502. ...
... Please note that John is correct. As "initial" and "terminal" locations, a "y" track is perfectly OK. As terminal reporting locations, a "Yd" and a "y...
