Maximum of cars Options

[dgionet]

Hi to all

While working in the oncoming template for the Mactier Sub, I am trying to have the maximum of stack cars to be picked up at the Vaughan Intermodal Yard for Mactier ( capacity of 71 cars) as the final destination for the crew change . A path have been created which starts at the Vaughan Intermodal yard to reach Mactier.

All sidings in the Vaughan yard have been labelled industry sidings to avoid presence of other type of cars inside the facility.

The problem is that I can't get the maximum of cars (71 for the Mactier) except in two occasions out of a more than a dozen of attempts. Often, I get about half only of the cars hoped to pick up. I would like to minimize the number of sidings to be used to pick up the 70 cars wanted. As you can see in the following, the two sidings used for the pickup exceeds the maximum wanted. I can't select them as source tracks, they will be composed of different cars and not only stack cars.

These are the parameters set trying to have the maximum possible.



Any help will be welcome.

Hi Steve,

Have re-generated the act with the same parameters (except the max is 70 rather than 99) as earlier and you will find as an attachment the SLG Diag file needed to check it out.

Thanks for looking into the issue
