As the subject says. I am designing my first activity that is not just a point to point run. Using the MLT's Sandpatch Route, I have 2 sets of cars to pick up at Cumberland yard. Before the first pickup the #3 key properly shows the trailing engine out of a four unit set, but after picking up the first cut of cars, the #3 key still shows the trailing engine, not the tail end of the cut. I have found that by saving the activity after the cut has been picked up, and restarting MSTS will fix this, but is there a better way, or am I doing something wrong?Thanks!

I have found that hitting the arrow key to go to the front of the consist, after picking up cars, will make things work normal afer that.Give it a try. It works for me.(edit) Be sure to use the Control + arrow keys.
