Special command options for use by
'Skip If S-Variable' driver command:
Counts cars at trackmark excluding locomotives
Measures train length (Metres) at trackmark
Measures train mass (Metric Tons) at trackmark

Measuring trackmarks must have a name starting with a percent character (%) Example:
% Measure Train. Measurement extends for 500 metres in both directions but stops when the first consist is found.

To access the measurements a session variable needs to be added to the input table (built-in rule)
For number of cars add variable:
svname,consist_count
For train weight add variable:
svname,train_weight
For total train length add variable:
svname,train_length
For length of cars excluding locomotives add variable:
svname, consist_length

This command was originally written as 'Stop Train' by Atila Barut who has kindly given me permission to build on his work.
