• Roster -->
  • Import from File
    Opens the Open dialog box, to import a roster of cars if you already have a list of cars in a database. The import function requires an ACSII text file, with one line for each car. The car import requires four attributes and the order is car number, road name, type, and length. An example of a correct format:

  336 GCR Flat 40
  655579 UP Boxcar 40

  Optionally you may include additional attributes in the following order: weight, color, owner name, date built, and location. Check the Windows help file for further information.
