It didn't the first time, then when I clicked on archives at the top of this page and wound my way to the article, it worked.
Scenario cards are muliptle potential deliveries for each industry. Depending on how varied you want to be, an industry might get a different number and type of cars each session, while another may have less diversity.
I was going to write pickup an delivery, but that's not what the article showed and if you think about it, you can't randomize the pickup number because there may not be that many cars there to be picked up.

Living the dream.
A member of the club I was part of in Gilbert AZ found the issue in the club library or in his personal collection and sent me what I needed.
I didn’t know what Scenario Cards were so I looked them up. Not exactly what I expected. In my wild imagination I was expecting something more like the Chance cards from the game of Monopoly. I expected to see cards that said things like: “Blizzard dumps two feet of snow. You must run snowplows.” or “Wild fire closes mainline at location X, respond with fire fighting equipment.” or “Civil unrest closes siding at location X. Do not deliver freight there.” etc….
Here is what they really are. There is a description about 3/4ths of the way down the page.

Since you know the issue, the all-time archive would be your best friend here.
Or... you could eBay just that issue.
The scenario card concept sounds interesting. Kind of like a role-playing "random event generator" for model railroading.
Oh... to the Model Railroader forums.
Im looking for info on the flowing articale in November 1992 isue of Model Railroader. How to Opearate a small layout. All I Need is what was on the Scenrio Card.
