B
available, then the train will automatically proceed via “Southtown 2” to “Hidden
Yard”.
• It is not possible to reverse a train within a schedule. If, for example, a train enters
“Southtown 1” from “Main Line West” then it is not possible to leave “Southtown 1
to “Main Line West” without terminating the current schedule and starting another
schedule first. This other schedule can be another run of the same schedule diagram,
though.
• It is not possible to change a train within a schedule.
Schedules describe train movements of one train from blocks to other blocks without
changes of trains and without changes of direction.
You can create as many schedules as desired.
Schedules are not bound to specific trains, though. In principle each schedule can
be executed with each train. In this way by specifying only a few schedules it is
possible to achieve varied operation for many different trains. To start a schedule
with a certain train, the train must be currently located in a block of this schedule,
though.
To run your trains with realistic speed it is very important to adjust the speed profile
of each affected engine accordingly (see section 3.5, “The Speed Profile”).
5.11 Execution of Schedules
For varied operation or special situations you can specify among others the following
attributes for each schedule:
• If the schedule shall be executed manually or automatically controlled by the computer.
• A time period, in which the Dispatcher repeatedly tries to start the schedule, if the
first attempt to start the schedule fails.
• Whether certain blocks or routes of the schedule shall be passed with restricted
speed.
• Operations, which are executed at the beginning, at the end or during the schedule.
• Whether and how often the schedule shall be repeated as a cycle or by a shuttle
train.
• A selection of other schedules, which are started after finishing the schedule with
regard to availability or by random selection
