[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1112062, member: 14668"] We could solve the misload problem by "color coding" the PAL labels. If the label printers had the ability to squirt a blot of colored ink onto each label, then prelaod assignments could be "color coded" with each car having a different color. The human eye distinguishes color a lot easier than it distinguishes a different HIN number on a label in the back of a dimly lit car at 4:00 AM. They could improve upon PAS/EDD by having different or more accurate area traces depending upon the number of cars dispatched. A loop detail that works well for a 5 car loop can be essentially worthless when only 4 cars are dispatched and the work must be divided among the remaining cars. As you stated, the add/cuts on the 7000/8000 shelves are what kills us. PAS/EDD is an utter failure when it comes to dealing with volume fluctuations, and if they are unable or unwilling to correct these underlying problems with a system that has been in place for over 6 years now, I am n ot seeing how a new gimmick like ORION will be any sort of an improvement. Garbage in, garbage out. [/QUOTE]
