I took a Mopac TCS work order and retyped it for my operating sessions. Feel free to use the same format. Mopac started using this in Fall 1975 and was in use when I retired six years ago.

Charlie,

I appreicate that you did this and shared it. I wonder if it’s something that Excel or Access could be used to set a format and built a database of the cars on the layout to quickly built work orders for various operating sessions. It’s nice to see what the work orders looked like also. I think I understand it, but have a question on what the “next destination” codes are. Would the IND LOC. be where a ZTS book would cross reference the spotting location? I may have to ask for a class on the TCS work order. Very interesting.

The next destination is the Circular 7 of a station. Could be a station set out, interchange location, industry (with a ZTS) or a future stop location (hold for customs clearance, cash customer, etc).
