[ Top ] Origin/Destination Pair(s) search: The Railmiles search page contains two radio buttons on the top. Select the first button labeled ‘Enter Origin / Destination pair(s)’ when you want to enter one or more Origin/Destination pair(s) directly in the screen. Select the second button labeled ‘Import Origin / Destination pair(s) from Excel’ when you wish to import the Origin/Destination pair(s) from an Excel Spreadsheet. When ‘Enter Origin / Destination pair(s)’ is selected: Enter a minimum of three city name characters in the Origin or Destination textbox. The system will look up all Cities, in the Railmiles system, that begin with the letters you typed in and provide them in a selection box. The more letters of the city that you type the more refined the list is. For example if you typed in ‘Kansas City’ you will have the choice of Kansas City, KS or Kansas City, MO. Click on the City, St that you are looking for and it will be added to the textbox. Once you get the Origin/Destination pair that you want click on the ‘Add to List’ button and it will be added to the list of Origin / Destinations to be searched. You are allowed to search from 1 up to 1,000 Origin / Destination pairs at one time. When you have all the Origin / Destination pairs you want click on the ‘Calculate Miles’ button to initiate the search. When ‘Import Origin / Destination pair(s) from Excel’ is selected: Once you click on the radio button then the Excel Spreadsheet load will be shown on the screen. Important! - The spreadsheet you are going to load needs to be in a specific format. Please click on the ‘here’ on the line ‘Click here to download the Sample Upload Template’, if you don’t know what the format should be. You can type the file name on your computer where the excel spreadsheet is that you want to load or click on the browse button to find it. Once the correct file name is in the text field click on the button ‘Add to List’. This will load the Origin / Destination Pairs to the search list.
