It's just possible that you gave up too early on "Ship It!". It's not easy, but it can be figured out. Here's one tip: Delete the files in the "secondary" section, and input the basic data (towns, schedules, etc.) everything but the products and industries. Do this also in the "Primary" sectiion. Then switch to "Secondary", and input only one industry (shipper and consignee) and one product. Input just a set of generic cars. Then generate sessions (about 10), and see if things are moving correctly. With only one industry, the sessions generate at light speed, and you can track problems instantly. Make changes until everything runs smoothly. Then duplicate your data into the "Primary" section, and test run. Then go back to "Secondary", replace the industry data with the next set, and repeat until you have everything running smoothly. The biggest mistake people make with this large, complex program, is to try and input everything all at once, then when problems hit, it's untraceable. If you'd like more help, just let me know.
