I spent about an hour adding weights to a number of rolling stock cars and then another two hours revising and updating my data base. I now have a field for the AAR Type in the data base and have performed maintenance on 11 cars. The Filemaker Pro data base now has a total of 11 cars that are categorized as "operational". This consists of 6 hopper cars, 3 box cars, 1 reefer, and 1 gondola car:

In addition to having rolling stock capable of handling various commodities, one also needs to specify (in Ship It!) the name and location of the shipper and the consignee (who ordered the commodity). So far I have the following data in Ship It!:
