Hi
I tried to set up an activity for Rich Garbers Ohio route, based about a sugar beet train from Zanesville to Byesville Interchange where it picks up empties and returns to Zanesville. To do this I designated Track 8 at Zanesville as an industry track supplying loaded sugar beet cars, wanting empties... and interchange track 3 at Byesville as an industry track supplying empties and wanting full cars... I specified Zanesville Track 6 ( a natural entry into the Zanesville yard ) as an ending location, and specified assemble train. I expected to end the activity on this track when I decoupled engines and caboose... I generated the following activity... as you see the swap for sugar beet cars worked ( sort of... 4xF7's will take 2 cars there and 2 empties back! ), but most of the activity involves switching random cars in the Zanesville Yard... not appropriate work for these ATSF ladies... Is there any way I can set this activity up to work the way I'd like?

"Allow pickups from source tracks in one region to be set out in that same region"
Now you really have go me confused. Both versions I have been using (4.2.2 & 4.2.3) have the following "Allow pickups from source tracks in one region to be set out in a different region" I assume you are talking about the option box just below the big red panel, 4th from the bottom. I'll uninstall and reinstall AG when I get the chance, and let you know if it makes a difference. By the way yes AG 4.2.3 now reads ags files. |
