Warning:
It is generally not recommended that you delete a railcar. When a railcar is deleted, most records related to that railcar are deleted as well. Related records include: Cycles, Sightings, Problems and Event Logs (these are used only by RMS). Depending on the volume of data in your database, deleting one railcar can take several minutes because all the related records are being deleted as well. If this railcar is simply idle and will be used again soon, you definitely do not want to delete it in order to preserve all of the historical information for this particular railcar. Even if this railcar has been scrapped, you should preserve its history so that your Management Reports will include the important movement history. It is generally recommended that you deactivate a railcar instead of deleting it.
If you still wish to delete the railcar, follow these steps.
1. From the Home window, expand the Data Management branch and double-click the Railcars Update branch.
2. Find the railcar to be deleted, highlight it.
Note: You may delete many railcars at a time by selecting multiple railcars (see Select multiple records).
3. Click on the Delete command button.
