When I make out waybill information, it's from the point of view of the railroad billing for the services of its equipment, not the material being shipped.  The railroad is only interested in its part of the journey, so the billing destination is where the car is unloaded, not where the load is going.  If you're interested in relating further information, you can add a note to the bill mentioning where the load is ultimately headed. 

...I figured it would probably be the entity that unloads the car.  That would be the Port of Conneaut, in this case.  Heck, I might make it even more vague and call the receiver "Port Services LLC".

Thanx for your input! 

Port Servies LLC, Conneaut, <province/state> would do fine.

While some people like a lot of information on waybills, commodity, routing, clic numbers, etc. etc. I take the opposite approach on the Bear Creek. Many of my waybills refer to the lading as 'stuff' or 'whazzits' or 'thingees'. I guess I was being lazy and didn't want to spend the time figuring out exactly what each car load would be. Open top cars where you can see what's in them usually get more detail for 'lading'.

For cars delivered on-layout I'll give the industry name and town name - for example  "Dest: Brough-Caan Glass Co., Redland, OR" (and my towns have different color print on the waybills to make it easier to group them. Cars that are headed to staging are merely billed to the staging area name - "Dest: Salem" or "Dest: Pocatello" and I don't bother with coming up with an appropriate industry name to receive what ever goods are being shipped.

My crews seem happy enough with this system and it does eliminate lots of confusion for visiting operators who might be wondering whether a car headed for Billings Montana would be an eastward car via Pocatello staging or a northward car through Deschutes staging.

I'd suggest that before you spend huge amounts of time on super detailed waybills you give spartan waybills a try. If they work for you and your crews then you'll have saved a bunch of time. If not, you'll have lost a little time setting up the spartan system.

The arrangemnet of track in a town/industrial area often benefits from temporarily tacking down track and then operating for a while to see where bottle-necks occur before building permanent track and ballasting it. Way bills also can benefit from a trial run to see if they have an industry imbalance built into them so cars tend to congregate in a place or two on the layout.

FWIW

Your approach certainly seems much easier than Tony K's - I've been basing my waybill approach on what he describes in Chapter 6 of his book Realistic Model Railroad Operation.  He really crams a lotta stuff onto those tiny cards, he even includes a 'VIA:' line to specify what yard you're picking up the car(s) from.  I've been leaving that one blank, since I only have two yards, one of them for staging.

One advantage of the simplified method is that I'll get all the waybills filled out much sooner!

No waybills at the club - just cards.  The dispatcher never does any paperwork asside from putting load card slip in car pocketcards and then putting the card packets in the slot that describes the track the car is on.  When the car is empty, the loadcomes out and the pocketcard has a "When empty return to ---- via ----"  where both blanks are only blanks here for illustration; Example: - When empty return to Pennsylvania via Gallup Yard" which on this layout means the car goes to the Gallup interchange track in the Indian Springs yard, so that a later track can pull the cars around to the drawers - the cars are then removed from the railroad and placed in the Gallup Yard!!  The Club has Four Interchange yards like this!!

For cars that take cargos off layout, the cargo card has a destination on it, [Pennsylvania], which means the car has to go to the Gallup interchange track because Pennsylvania is not ON this layout!  Since the cargo card is independent of the car, I don't think it would matter who is moving the car - you could even transfer the cargo at any point ot another car or other mode of transportation.  So in my understanding, the reciever would be the ultimate destination - Kind of like your UPS box from China, It's YOUR address on the box all the way, the authorities simply figure out how to get it to you!
