Album: Version 1

Page 1 of the CBSW Yard Report, showing only those tracks at Council Bluffs. As the report stands currently, it prints only those tracks that have cars on them, whereas the prototype yard reports include entries for each empty track as well. It's possible to add them by simply adding dummy Car table entries for each empty track, but that just leads to a lot of wasted ink and paper, and thicker packets for my conductors to have to carry. For now, I'm leaning toward not printing the empty tracks, but it's an easy fix if I change my mind down the road.

Per the prototype, empty hazmat cars such as GATX 54465 on the McCollister Oil spur still indicate the commodity they last carried, with only the LE indicator and weight reflecting the fact that they're empty.
