Reefer ice and products in same car

[Thai1On]

Is there a way to configure a reefer car to load block ice then moves to a warehouse to be loaded with produce using the BI3 assets?

Two product queues, one for ice one for product.

The problem I'm having is if I go to the icing platform first the car loads 22 blocks of ice to simulate 9000lbs. of ice. When I move to the warehouse to load produce the reefer is already fully loaded.

Is there a way to separate the two so both can be loaded to fill the car?

Take a look at kuid:86627:100726, the bit you're interested in is a.load5 and the conflicts with queues. a.load5 is the tarp product and can be used with other loads.

or maybe limit the number of ice blocks to let room for reefer products

Realistically the ice goes in a different place on the cars so two queues is a better solution.

In my model railroad car movement system, icing is just a special instruction for reefers after they are loaded . The loading industry normally filled the ice bins when the car was loaded. The railroad just topped up the ice as needed as long as the car stayed on its trackage. Reefers had priority for delivery to online industries and to be placed on the interchange if going offline. The problem with making it a commodity is the reefer doesn't consume the ice as a real reefer would as the ice melts.
