Farron summit train order station showing train order panel and phone to Dispatcher (and Digitrax radio throttle). An Eastbound has the Board set against it but it looks like the crew have already picked up their orders and pressed the "acknowledge button" to let the Dispatcher know that the order has been properly received and understood.

A car forwarding worksheet showing the output used to restage and with many working columns hidden. All supply requests (left) and load/MT destinations (right) are generated automatically when you seed four random numbers on the first worksheet of the Excel file. This sheet is for the industries on the Kaslo sub which is combined with the Slocan sub sheet to create the work for the Slocan/Nakusp wayfreight. Similar sheets exist for all train jobs.

This summary shows the seed random numbers in the top left but the interesting content are the "hot spot" tables. The spreadsheet uses conditional formatting to flag whether the specific jobs are likely to be easy, standard, challenging or impossible based on car volume. These parameters will be tweaked over time as I get more experience with the system. The table in the upper right shows the likely result of different random.

One of dispatcher Len Thompson's favorite tricks to get pushers down the mountain is to cut them in behind the power of other trains. Here pusher set 8608 is cut in behind the four untis of train X8602E at Farron summit to get them to Castlegar to help train 89 up the hill. Photo by Rene Gourley, the engineer of X8602 using a "1977" photo setting on his smart phoen camera.

new car tags 1: used to "mark" the cars with their destinations. Demand generation and car assignment is done "ad hoc" right now but eventual will be done through an excel worksheet.
