Here is an example Industry Report produced by the balancer. It is for a 5-car capacity siding, Ballston Foodstuffs. The balancer has been set to "turn over" the capacity of the siding twice per session. Adding up the empties and amounts shown in the report, it is seen that approximately 10 cars per session do indeed arrive at, or get shipped from, the siding. (Actually, the Ship Rates and Rec. Rates are more accurate than the empties and amounts.) Report follows:
