Ed, good to hear that the program used all the cars and that things worked out well. I don't really like that the cars get pulled from the "available pool" in alphanumeric order though. Still, can live with it.
Seems that the way you have it set up with all industries on a 24 hour period, it is the limited train length that makes each operating session different, albeit every session will have the train completely full at 5 cars. As you said, with a long enough train length, every spot would be filled every session, because of the 24 hour frequency for each industry.
For some reason, having the incoming train length change somewhat is important to me. I think that setting up the industries with different frequencies and then running a train or enough trains to exceed the number of cars needed on average each session would provide some randomness in the number of cars per train. For me, I would want some days to be "light days" and other days to be "heavy days".
Keep up the great work!
