NEW! Click the IndMan button above to see how Waybills is linked to The IndMan prototype Industry Manager program!
Below is a screen shot on the Waybills main window.
You use the the Edit/Preview view to create a waybill. The active cycle is outlined in a red border.
The body of each of the waybill cycles consists of up to 10 lines for:
Each of the above body lines is optional.
Values for the Route and VIA are filled in using the drop down lists.
Next step is to select the commodity for that cycle. The list below, for shippers and receivers, is filled in from the industries window. You can select only those industries from certain states or regions if you prefer.
To complete the waybill, select a shipper and click the FROM button. Select a receiver and click the TO button.
You may also added a Note to the bottom of the waybill cycle as shown here in cycle 1.
Note that a summary of the waybill is given just above the cursor.
CLIC (Car Location Inventory Control) numbers are used by the Santa Fe (after the mid 1960s) to identify the exact spot on a customer siding where the car should be placed. Other railroads adapted a similar system calling it ZTS for Zone (a town or switching area), Track and Spot.
The CLIC or ZTS number is 3 two digit numbers like (see cycle 2) 30-07-02. The 30 represents the Zone, 07 the Track number and 02 is the Spot location. A warehouse which has 3 doors could have a Spot numbers of 01, 02 and 03 to indicate which door the car is to be spotted.
Using CLIC/ZTS numbers increases the switching complexity (and the fun) for your switching crews.
