Creating a Multi-car BOL in eBOL 

To bill cars directly using the eBOL application, follow these steps: 

 

  1. Log in to your account at http://www.railconnect.com and click the “eBOL” link to access eBOL, select CREATE BOL from the top menu, then select CREATE MULTIPLE BOLS FROM PATTERN: 

 

 

  1. You should then see the Pattern Select screen. Click on the pattern you want to use to select it: 

 

  1. On the next screen, you will select SINGLE CAR or MULTI CAR. As a general rule, if you have multiple cars to ship under the same BOL, use MULTI CAR. Also be sure to select LOAD, EMPTY, or REV EMPTY.  

  1. NOTE: The Single/Multi Car and Load, Empty, Rev Empty will default based on how the pattern is set up, so in most cases you will not have to change anything. 

 

 

 

 

  1. Enter the total number of cars for the BOL in the box and click OK: 

 

  1. On the next screen, enter the BOL Number (required), the car initial and number and then click CREATE AND SEND: A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Click the button, and a screen will pop up with a blank text box. Copy and Paste the data from the spreadsheet to the box, then click OK.

Then click SAVE/CONTINUE, and SEND: 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Your BOL will then be sent to any e-mail recipients who have been added to the pattern as well as to our system, at which point the cars will be automatically loaded and released.  The e-mailed BOL will come as a PDF and look like this:
