ABSTRACT
   This software simulates the bi-directional travel of any number of 
   trains over an east-west track layout consisting of any number of
   track segments. Trains are assigned a priority rating and track
   segments can be single or double track, sidings may or may not be
   present. The first priority in meets and overtakes is given to eastbound
   trains (traditional in the Canadian system).

TRAIN.SIM
	This is a Simscript simulation program designed to simulate the
  travel of 'n' trains over at 'm' track segments. A train can begin and
  end in any track segment. Areas of congestion can be isolated by examining
  wait times for each track segment. New sidings and double track can be
  added in an attempt to minimize congestion. A train schedule file and a
  track layout file are required.
FILTER.C
	This is a C pre-processor to convert times in the train schedule
  file from 24 hour format to that expected by Simscript.
RUNTRAIN.COM
	This command file calls the C pre-processor, defines I/O files,
  runs the simulation program, and calls "sortit.com", a command file to sort 
  train travel times.
TRNSTATS.LIS statistical output of simulation run.
TRNTIMES.SRT train travel run times.
VIEWTRAIN.DAT pictorial trace of a specified train.
VIEWTRACK.DAT pictorial trace of a specified track segment.
