1214+ 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.
