Album: Version 1

Car Management System (CMS) screen. This database includes one entry for every car on my model roster. Cars that are on the visible portion of the layout have the Track field populated, which causes them to be included in the appropriate Yard Report for that track.

I'll initially update this database with current car locations prior to my next op session, but from that point forward, my dispatcher/clerk will be updating it throughout each session as crews tie up and report pull and spot times. If that works as planned, op session setup time should be greatly reduced, as I'll just have to validate car locations.
