Album: Version 2

The Tonnage Forecast report for train CBBI (Council Bluffs-Blue Island), generated by pressing the fifth menu button. In setting up my first operating session since creating this system, I realized that, while the train list for train BICB (Blue Island-Council Bluffs) would tell me that consist's tonnage westbound to CB, I had no easy way of knowing the tonnage, and thus the power needs, for its eastbound counterpart, CBBI. Since CB is the railroad's western terminus, that train is built entirely from local industry pulls and inbound interchange from the BNSF, Council Bluffs Great Western, and UP. I wrote this report to provide me a snapshot of the tonnage moving east out of CB from each of those endpoints.
