Ed: There are a couple of possibilities why the program is picking off cars in Alphabetical order.
1) You entered them that way. Not totally unlikely, but normally there would be a few variances.
2) the program maintains an list sorted by road name and number within car type.
Is it showing there the first 3 cars of that type or are there others in between?
It may happen that after you run the program a while the cars get shifted around a bit.
Can you specify a stay in the yard before they get sent out again? Say, after a car has gone to Smith and return it has a 10 day period (where it gets sent out west to be reloaded)?
I remember trying to tweak programs to get certain cars moving or not moving every week.
