Registry Yard Departures

I would like to have the departure statuses entered. I use the Mainline Departures section of the BAR page to keep track of the upcoming departures. I would ask that if a train is departed, do not open the departure track until after the departure status is entered.

I realize that when there is a single dispatcher on duty, there is a lot going on, and if they have to depart a train on their own, they would then be responsible for making the two separate registry entries to make this happen correctly. I would prefer if either no update was made, or just the departed update is made. Then the next time I jump on the server, I can see that the track is open but not yet open in the registry, which would tell me that the train departed and I need to make the necessary updates. If the track is just opened in the registry, and is also open in the game world. There is no indication that that a departed status needs to be made for that train.

On a side note, if you were wondering about the hold statuses in the Mainline Departures section, that is what I set them to when we go into a new cycle so that we don't have leftover departed statuses from last cycle and it makes it easier to know where we are in the schedule.

I certainly would not like to see the Mainline Departures section removed, as the only other way to see what is coming up in the schedule is to look through the current day's schedule tab and try to find the trains that are departing Barstow that way. While this is possible to do, it is much easier to have the information right on the Barstow page.
