7. Assistant Dispatcher e Clerks crew caller e Train Crews Yard Master e Car Inspectors e Car Clerks office clerks e Yard Crews The point of all this is that as a common carrier a railroad must have a set way of processing the transportation needs of its customers That is why railroads are operated the way they are keeping a steady flow of traffic moving on a regular basis About a year ago the question was asked on one of the forums What role am I playing when I am running a train This is a good question because there is no one role there are many The easy one to identify is the engineer the person who controls the movement of the locomotive You become the conductor when by examining your way bills you determine that you have to spot a car at an industry which car and where it is to be set Then you become the brakeman setting the track switch to get the car where it needs to go and pulling the pin to uncouple the cars The Narrows Cumberland to Connellsville See Page 53 If your AI trains are hung up as they do from time to time you become the dispatcher solving the problem and issuing new commands to the train crews I hope this has shed some light on why railroads operate the way they do Next month we will take a look at yard design explore different types of yards and define the necessary elements to make a workable yard Artur Vill and Robert Shaw Published 3rd October 2001 Train

10. a rotation matrix to axis angles has a divide by zero occurrence under these conditions The program will zero the X axis angle and make the Y axis 90deg hopefully leaving any Z axis rotation as it stands The problem is called Gimball Lock because the same mathematics is used in gyro guidance systems and gyros are mounted on gimballs the rings with bearings that allow x y z rotation of one object relative to anot It s best to avoid Y 90deg or Y 90deg However it will still work the conversion from angles to matrix works fine It s the reloading of such data back into this program that will give the message Fortunately rotation around the Y axis is rare in Trainz because the Y axis is used as a direction pointer so rotations about the X and Z axes are used to have the Y axis pointing in the desired direction See the CCGTC for advice on orienting smoke attachments as an example of this 2 The Attachment Maker program can handle only 256 attachments in one mesh This is the same limit as the Trainz game itself imposes Trainz Community News Page 50 Are We There Yet Are We There Yet is a regularly updated diary of achievements current projects and future plans for a small group of people trying to repair damaged assets in the Download Station and establish a community of supporters for all Trainz versions You can show your support by subscribing to the Newsletter or joining the community as an active member

16. handled In the United States rates have been set by the Interstate Commerce Commission since the passage of the Esch Cummins Act of 1920 Prior to that they were set by the railroads and at times were quite unfair to various shippers The term common carrier is a common law term which is seldom used in continental Europe because it has no exact equivalent in civil law systems In continental Europe the functional equivalent of a common carrier is referred to as a public carrier or simply as a carrier However public carrier in continental Europe is defined differently than public carrier in British English in which it is a synonym for contract carrier Carriers were very common in rural areas prior to motorized transport Regular services by horse drawn vehicles would ply to local towns taking goods to market or bringing back purchases for the village If space permitted passengers could also travel So you ask what does this have to do with creating a Trainz route The answer is it depends If you are modelling an imaginary route where you are making up everything as you go including the operations then all this is meaningless However if you are modelling a prototype railroad and you want to develop prototype operations then it can be important In some countries the railroads Rockwood Cumberland to Connellsville See Page 53 are state owned and in others they are privately owned and regulated by the g
