Is there a rule (and if not can someone write one?) that will trigger events at a certain time?
I am creating the Ft Dodge, Des Moines & Southern, which did a lot of interchange business. I am planning a 24 hour session of actual operations and need to create events that occur at various times of the day.
I can get a train to emit from a portal and drop off cars at the interchange track, but I want it to happen at a certain time of the day and not repeat. I'd also like to emit from portals, foreign road trains that cross at grade (Diamond Crossing) on a time schedule. It seems that the portal commands only allow setting the interval between trains. In the real world, trains are sometimes bunched together followed by long periods of inactivity.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for your help.

I see this rule as having a variable that would create the trigger randomly within X minutes of the specified time (with X=0, the trigger would occur at the exact time designated).
