Spent some time setting up the Rayonier Industries this evening. Preloaded with cars in there and spawned 3 plant switchers as seen on Google Earth. Check it out.
Working to set up some more industries for A768 tomorrow. The will release. Trains will start spawning with cars for these industries going forward.
Thanks,
Tom

Checking historical imagery I cannot see any centerbeams being loaded or present at the Rayonier plant. I will leave them set up in there for now as shown on the Run 8 Depot maps. Huge numbers of woodchip, tank, and boxcars at this facility.
Checking the other industries along the line - best I can see a few tanks cars and an odd 2-bay hopper at Griffins Warehousing, Bulkhead flats at ACE Pole and a reasonable number of centerbeams at Gillman Building Supplies. Looks like they are making lumber there and sending out loads.
The industrial shown at Blackshear looks to have dried up in the early 2000's. We can make use of it I suppose to add to the A768 job. Progressive Rail is active looks like for locomotive leasing or repair/rebuilding. Not exactly sure what - or how we can represent that one. Maybe the odd delivery of power there.
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Good to see you back into things again Tom!
Rayonier is a pulpwood plant so I think they make things like particle board and pressed wood products. Would make sense that they got wood chips in and sent out loaded boxcars of finished product. The tank cars are probably loads in of chemicals for the wood processing and maybe even loads out of hazardous chemicals that can't be dumped.
Progress Rail is a big leasing and re-manufacturing company; they're actually the builders of the MP40's used on the Sunrail. They may get the odd boxcar of large parts now and then but mostly it is just lease units going in and out on new jobs and for service.
For everything else on the line I have no idea!

Good to see you back on as well! Hope things are going well despite the amount of work and effort required on all fronts!
Going to see how the Rayonier operation starts to work out. Did not set it up as a separate industry job yet. Interesting about Progress Rail - I set them up as an industry producing loads of scrap in gondolas. Can't get the system to send them any locomotives - but maybe they do cut things up and have to scrap parts.

Hi Tom, Is there a description in the train sheet coming for this local (A768).
Cheers,
Gery.

I thought I did that. Can you check? Maybe I did something wrong.

Looks like tags are fixed up now - local made the drop and is crew changed at the plant now. Once the local gets outbounds from the yard tracks and the empty hoppers only it can proceed back to WAX. Then the plant switchers can work the plant tracks a their leisure.
Next cycle - the local will have more empties to lift and after that I will evaluate exactly how/when to create the plant switcher as a job on the registry.
So far looks good after ironing out some tag kinks.

I tried to hump some A768 cars and they all go to the Sluff track, or they all go to B01. Not sure what is causing this.
Well fixed the problem but there are no hump assignments for the other industries for A768?

Thanks for the heads up - have to look at it unless another admin can set it up first. Thought this was all taken care of.

Looks like the Ray industries are not loading/unloading. It says Ready. Can you look into this?

I will take a look later when I get home. Maybe removing the hyphen caused a problem after all.
