The Industry menu allows you to view and update the data files pertaining to the industries on your layout. The Industry window allows you to list and describe all the Industries on your pike. The Products
window allows you to list all the products your industries ship and receive. |

The Browse Industries Window |
|
Below there is a double browse window. In the top part is an industry browse. The bottom part is a products browse. The industry which is highlighted in the top browse displays the products it ships and
receives in the bottom browse. This makes it easy to see what products industries ship and receive. Every industry in this browse window must be populated with products that it ships and receives. This helps when you
are building your waybills down the road by limiting the selection of products for the lading field in the Update Waybills window. Only the products that match the valid ones for the "To" industry will be shown there. |
|
- Name Enter the name of the industry here.
- Town Selecting this field causes the Browse Towns Window to pop up. Select the town the industry belongs to. Required.
- Capacity This is the number of cars that can occupy the trackage associated with this industry. This field is not required by Ship It! Car Cards, but is left here for your use for documentation purposes.
- Type Select one of the options here. This documents what type of trackage is being referred to. The program does not use this information for anything except documentation. Optional.
- Pickup/Setout Direction This is used in cases where there is no run-around available. For instance, if the industry spur for a westbound train had facing points (preventing a setout), you could disable the
setout for the westbound train by selecting eastbound as the pickup/setout direction. The default is any direction. This is used analyzed when your switchlists are blocked via the "Block" button in the
Switchlist Browse window.
