Color Filters

Color filters allow you to customize your view of cars in a yard, to easily identity cars by block, destination, source, type, or repair status.

There are 2 main sets of color filters:

  1.  Yard, State, Railroad & Car Coloured Filters
  2.  Block Filters

Yard, State, Railroad & Car Filters

With a map open the Yard, State, Railroad, & Car filters can be accessed by pressing the following keys:

Filter Type Key Mouse roll-over text Notes
Car-type 1 reporting mark, type, and load information
Dest. State 2 reporting mark, state, map, 'Destination'
Source State 2 (numpad) reporting mark, state, map, 'last-handled information'
Dest. Yard 3 reporting mark, state, map, 'Destination'
Source Yard 3 (numpad) reporting mark, state, map, 'last-handled information'
Repair (Bad Order) 4 Same as for filters 2 and 3. All cars white except bad-order cars flash red and cars needing wash flash blue.
Local Car 5 Same as for filters 2 and 3. Cars for current map are purple (plus shades for each child in a MIM). All other cars are brown.
Destination RR 6 reporting mark, state, map, RR, 'Destination'
Source RR 6 (numpad) reporting mark, state, map, RR, 'last-handled information'

Setting the Colors

With the map closed, select Menu --> View --> Yard State Railroad and Car Colors to open the Yard, State, Railroad & Car Colors form Initially the default colors will be displayed.

  • To edit, double click on the relevant item.
  • The "Random" button sets a random color for all yards in the selected state/province.
  • To use a different set of files (ones you have previously edited), select the relevant nnnn.ycl file from the drop down 'SOURCE' file list.
  • To save changes or to copy the current colors to a different yard, select the required yard in the drop down 'TARGET' file list.

Block Filters

With a map open, the block filter can be accessed by pressing:

  • <Shift>-3 ... Each block of non-intermodal or autorack displayed according to a user defined color. MRI = Block or Track Name.
  • <Shift>-4 ... Same as <Shift>-3, but autoracks displayed according to the block filter.
  • <Shift>-5 ... Same as <Shift>-4, but autoracks and intermodal cars displayed according to the block filter.

Autorack and intermodal car colors in the <Shift>-3 filter are set using <Shift>-A and <Shift>-I, respectively.


For a hump yard only the blocks are each assigned to a track in the bowl. For maps with multiple humps, the colors are assigned in reverse order of the hump crest number, should conflicts arise between humps.

To change block colors, open the ‘Assign Classification Blocks’ form by pressing 9.

  • Select block to change and press small colored ‘C’ button beside the block name to open ‘FYM Color Selector’.
  • Press ‘OK’ on ‘Assign Classification Tracks’ form to save changes.
  • If no 'Others' track is set, unmatched cars will be white.
