Attach and Detach Train Wagons

This activity is only applicable if the train has been loaded.

When a train is loaded by rake, the number of wagons is recorded for the loading transaction. When wagons are detached, MineMarket creates a 'detached despatch stockpile' to store information about the quantity, quality and contributors.

When those wagons are reattached, MineMarket creates a transaction from the detached despatch stockpile to the rake on the second train. Quantity, quality and contributors flow through to the second train. Do not survey the train or rake to which the wagons were reattached.

This activity presumes that a process flow exists with the loading rail siding as both the source and destination.

Security Note: You need the Allow train maintenance security right in the Trains domain security rights group for this activity.
