Thanks for the info... I just tried a portal asking it to emit a Blue Comet train. It did that ok but the train stopped just outside of the portal and never registered on the active drivers list. Another type portal never emitted anything. I had counted on portals to produce traffic at clock times as specified in the Quick Portal Manager. I had my first clue that portals were unreliable when Q.P. Manager could not see any of the several portal types I had connected to the route. Sent Ticket.
There is TimeTable and Schedule code in the program. I had a window open-up with TIMETABLE as its title after my first start. Clicking it brought up a SCHEDULE window. Great, a real railroad may be possible. However, could not click beyond that. Now I can't locate them.
I might have to revert to the previous version to have a semblance of a schedule via Quick Portal Mgr.. Submitted TICKET
