The Trains tab (Trains & Jobs) is the field workspace for work orders assigned to your operation.

​
Open the list

From the main tab bar, open Trains. You land on the train and job list.
Trains list with search and Active and Pending status tabs

Trains list. Search by train name. Use the Active and Pending tabs at the top to filter by status.

​
Status tabs

Start with Active for in-progress field work. Use Pending when you need to train-set an upcoming movement.

​
Find a train or job

Use search and filters (when available) to narrow the list by:
  • Train ID
  • Location (origin, destination, or current location)
  • Designated date
Tap a row to open the train or job detail screen.

​
Consist

The Consist tab shows the ordered list of cars on the train. For each car you typically see:
  • Car initial and number
  • Load/empty status (when configured)
  • Task indicators (pickup / setout)
  • Sequence position
Empty train consist with the Add Cars button highlighted

Empty consist. Use Add Cars to build the consist. Selection counts appear once you pick cars or tasks.

When you select cars or task equipment, the app shows selection counts so you can confirm how many are included before acting. Tap the full-screen control to expand the task set for easier review on a small screen.

​
Adhoc pickup

To add cars that are not already on the consist, tap Add Cars. Search by car number or select from a track, then check the cars to add.
Add Cars sheet with cars selected from a search

Add Cars. Search by car, or switch to From track. Checked cars are added to the consist.

​
Tasks

Tasks are per-car work at a stop. Each task has a status: Task detail may also show assigned track, assigned spot, and task location. Look for completion summaries (for example, “3 out of 10 tasks completed”) before you depart or close.

​
Complete a pickup or setout

Trains must be set before tasks can be completed.
1

Open the train or job

Open it from the Trains list.
2

Go to Tasks or Consist

Use whichever view your layout shows for field execution.
3

Select the car or task

Choose the car you are working.
4

Pick up or set out

  • Pickup — confirm the car is being pulled onto the train.
  • Setout — confirm the car is being spotted at the assigned track or location.
Setout cars sheet with a destination track picker

Setout sheet. Confirm the destination track, then tap Setout.

5

Confirm and complete

Confirm the assigned track or spot if prompted, then mark the task Complete when the physical move is done.

​
Assign an exception (“Won’t complete”)

If you cannot complete a task (blocked track, car not found, safety hold):
  1. Select the task.
  2. Choose Assign exception (shown as Won’t complete on some screens).
  3. Select or enter an exception reason if required.
  4. Confirm.
Exception tasks stay visible for dispatch and audit. Do not force-close a train without coordinating with your yardmaster or dispatcher when exceptions exist.
If tasks look out of date after a consist change, pull to refresh or reopen the train. Refreshing tasks from the web app typically requires affected tasks to still be Not started. Completed or excepted tasks may not refresh automatically.

​
Train lifecycle

These actions move the train or job through its operational states. What you see depends on your carrier’s mobile settings.

​
Train set

Train set activates a Pending train or job and records that the consist is ready for departure work.
  1. Open a Pending train or job.
  2. Review the consist and tasks.
  3. Tap Train set.
  4. Confirm when prompted.
After train set, the status moves to Active and crews can execute tasks and depart (when permitted).

​
Depart

Depart records that the train is leaving the current location.
  1. Open an Active train that is ready to depart (when that indicator is used).
  2. Complete or except outstanding tasks as required by your operation.
  3. Tap Depart.
  4. If prompted about incomplete tasks, review the list. Some operations require all tasks complete; others allow depart after confirmation.
  5. Confirm depart.
The train enters In transit until it arrives at the next location.

​
Arrive

Arrive records that the train has reached a location.
  1. Open an In transit train.
  2. Tap Arrive.
  3. Confirm the arrival location and time if prompted.
After arrival, the train returns to Active at the new location. New tasks may be generated depending on your job configuration.
