Looking for a clearer discussion of the #disposal command. The latest release of the OR manual (April 16, 2021) does not provide much help. I want the consist to disappear 10 minutes after it arrives at its last station. Can someone please provide me with the proper #dispose code?
You can keep the train in the station using the station time cell. The train will wait until the departure time to depart. The train will usually disappear at the first node after the end of its path. The #dispose cell can be left blank. Another way is to use the $forms command to form a train without a path. The log will have some warnings using this.
I simply need a train to disappear at the terminal shortly after arrival so the next train can spawn and depart on that track. Activity is very heavy at Penn Station in NY. Will take your advice and leave the #dispose cell blank
You could use $forms for that instead. This has the added benefit that if your incoming train is delayed, the other train doesn't block the station. The referenced train in the command should be the outgoing one.
