Waycross Update 8/22/17

We "primed" the yard with a couple extra trains yesterday and everything will now be running through the registry releases. The trains are being released in the registry but are not available to download due to time constraints so users will need to use the AI spawn menu (Shift+F2) and select the spawn area and spawn the proper train type (ie. manifest, intermodal, unit coal, etc.). The AI spawner will assign a random train number to the spawn, change it yourself to the registry train number and you're good to go. This should be corrected in the future but it comes down to availability to work on the server side of things.

- Waycross Yard Update**

The bowl will need trimmed before the next train can be humped. New Orleans and Raleigh are both full and will not accept another train's worth of cars. The trim locos are on the west end of the bowl and can be used to move cars to the forwarding yards. No forwarding tracks are assigned to specific trains at this time.

Yeah that was a mistake, I sent Tom another industry configuration that corrected that and a few other things earlier today so hopefully it should not be an issue in later cycles.

Also Autoracks from Q455 and Q458, what to tag them with?

The blocks from Q456/458 are lept on the rear in reality on purpose, so they can be pulled off the train before it's humped and put in a forwarding yard to leave as a new train back to an auto facility or tacked on another manifest heading to another forwarding yard.

There's still plenty of things to figure out and this is one of them.

Might be able to look on Google Earth to see where in the yard the racks are kept. If I recall correctly there were a load of them so I bet they can build up for a while yet.

Waycross does send autoracks out to KY LA TN and to the NS at Atlanta.

If you know some symbols email to Darrell and copy me on it - we can see about adding them in. If we start getting a huge build-up of them we can also send them out on symbols without the registry if there is no other choice.

Thanks,

Tom

While humping this S458 for a test, looks like ATL and SAV are not programed into the hump file, they are going into the Sluff track.

It looks like somebody reset the hump configuration on the host back to the original that comes with the route so most of our tags are missing. I pulled the one from the host not realizing it was incorrect and over-wrote the correct one I had so as of right now I don't really have a way of fixing it. If someone did save the correct one before it was changed on the host that would be a huge help.

I recreated a new hump configuration and pushed it to the host and also pasted it into the Waycross sheet. This is the one we will use for now and it can of course be tweaked later.

Ok sounds good. I still have the one you sent to me as a back up if that helps.
