+ Loading and Unloading Containers
1215
+ ================================
1216
+
1217
+ Provided that the wagons and the container cranes in the route fulfill the rules indicated
1218
+ :ref: `here<features-containers> `, containers can be unloaded and loaded on wagons at
1219
+ locations where a container crane is present.
1220
+
1221
+ .. image :: images/driving-containers.png
1222
+
1223
+ The loading and unloading operations are started by the player, by pressing the key ``<T> ``
1224
+ for loading, and the key ``<Shift-T> `` . The operation is performed on the first wagon
1225
+ (starting from the locomotive) which is within the container crane displacement range and which
1226
+ fulfills the required conditions (e.g. loading space available for loading, container present
1227
+ for unloading). So, if a train has only empty wagons and the locomotive is within the container
1228
+ crane displacement range, the first wagon is loaded first, then the second and so on up to the
1229
+ last wagon within the crane displacement range. At that point, if there are further
1230
+ wagons to be loaded, the train must be moved forward so that a new group of wagons is within
1231
+ the crane displacement range, and Load operations can be resumed.
1232
+
1233
+ Every keypress loads or unloads a single wagon.
1234
+
1235
+ In some cases it can occur that during a load operation the crane stops motion and the following
1236
+ message appears on the display: ``"Wagon out of range: move wagon towards crane by {0} metres" ``;
1237
+ this occurs when the wagon is at the boundary of the crane displacement range; the player must
1238
+ move the wagon towards the inside of the crane displacement range and stop the train. The crane
1239
+ will then continue its loading mission up to the end.
1240
+
1241
+ Saves (key ``<F2> ``) are rejected and a message appears on the display when a loading
1242
+ or unloading operation is ongoing.
