When posting a callboard/line-up of trains you have two options. Option #1 is using pre-defined activities and option #2 is specifying trains to run in Explore Mode...A combination of both is possible...
OPTION #1 SAMPLE
Train Called Use Activity AI involved?
97 0500 MPSOps#7 YES
OPTION #2 SAMPLE
Train Called Start Point Terminal Point Type
Q101 1800 Pensacola South Mobile HOTSHOT INTERMODAL
DEFINITIONS
TRAIN - Use actual train number or symbol
CALLED - Time dispatcher expects crew to be on duty, not an actual "start running" time (left to DS discretion, slot availability)
START POINT - The route starting point to be selected when setting up the train in Explore Mode
TERMINAL POINT - End at point to be selected when setting up train
TYPE - Brief description of train and its priority over other traffic (if any)
All mark-ups for crews should use the message thread in which the callboard/line-up is posted.
