Operation program


I'm using the JMRI Panelpro program. It's a free download I found looking online. After running it, I realized both John and Steve are using the same for their railroads. 
I have trains/schedules set up so I can run the full length program, Angels to JT and back. Or During construction just JT to Omega siding first, then JT to Tuttletown when track gets there.
When done there will be four trains each day. Two Morning; 21 Mixed and Angels West Extra.Two afternoon; Angels East Extra, and 22 Mixed. 
Here are all the locations for freight car traffic. The program usually fills about 45% of the locations w/ the 25 cars I now have. I might add a few more cars, but it works really well now.
