Bring the projects into one working plan.
Organize projects by year, owner, funding stage, and dependencies. Review known totals and missing information.
Keep up to 30 candidate projects in one planning register. Assign an owner, planning year, estimate, funding information, and dependency IDs. Review entered totals by year and the questions that still need answers.
A blank amount means unknown. Enter 0 only when confirmed. Committed funding and unconfirmed funding are kept separate. Year labels describe your plan; this organizer does not schedule work, prioritize safety, or decide whether a project can be deferred.
No automatic saving. Entries disappear when you reload or leave. Download a project file (JSON) to keep an editable copy. Download Excel-compatible CSV or choose Print / Save as PDF for a report.
FICTITIOUS EXAMPLE: Every project, price, year, owner, and funding amount below is invented. These are not estimates for a real railroad.
Planning register review
Confirm estimates, scope, funding commitments, and dependencies with the responsible people. The funding gap excludes potential or applied-for funds. Regulatory requirements, inspection findings, engineering decisions, and operational protection remain outside this arithmetic organizer.
Keep the reasoning with the result.
Check the exported report against your source records. For the planning context, read the small railroad capital planning guide.
