YARDS (Yard Aid & Railcar Database System) is a very powerful program that allows you to completely track any car or locomotive in a yard in Run 8 Train Simulator V3. You can assign cars to a train and then query how many cars you have for said train. This helps give a very close idea of how big the train will be before you even move any cars around.

YARDS works by uploading a World File from Run 8 and it parses the data to a usable state.

Here’s some of the things YARDS can do

• Inbound/Outbound Trains
• Schedule Cars/Locomotives to a particular train
• On upload, automatically assign cars to the appropriate train based on your settings
• Ability to move cars from one track to another and order them however to your liking
• For yards that have a hump, there’s a Hump Assist that tells you what cars won’t fit in a bowl track
• Many more things and always more to add

YARDS is finally in open beta! Please be aware that at this time, YARDS must be ran in Administrator Mode for it to work properly. Also since each yard needs to be manually surveyed to gather the track section nodes and other back end setup, only Rice, Moncrief, Jax Ramp, Baldwin, BNSF Bakersfield and Barstow is currently available.
