What is SwitchList? SwitchList is a Mac program designed for model railroad enthusiasts to automatically generate lists of freight cars to switch on their layout. The program offers a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up and printing out switch lists, making it easy to adjust available cargos for more realistic traffic flows. The program also allows for realistic routing of different railroad's empty freight cars to different staging yards and assigns freight cars based on the owner of the car.
