uses the Caboose and FRED functions to place the car at the end of a train when the train

requires a caboose or car with FRED. The Hazardous checkbox will cause the program to add

<p>The program supports the ability to add a subType to your car types. Adding a

|
"-subType" to your car type will create a new type of car. The "-subType" is not
|
|
printed on the Manifest or Switch Lists. For example you might have coal cars with
|
|
loads and coal cars that are empty. If you enter the car type as HopCoal-C for your
|
|
cars loaded with coal, and HopCoal-E for the empties, the program can use this
|
|
information to assign and deliver Cars to their appropriate Trains and Locations
|
|
respectively.</p>

of the body and not the total length. For example, a forty foot boxcar has a length of 40
|

feet. The program when calculating lengths will add two feet to each end of a car for the
