EDR/SHDR
The electronic logbook roughly corresponds in its content to the written logbook, but differs mainly in that it is kept by the dispatcher using a special computer application.
The main advantage of the electronic traffic log is the possibility of communication with electronic traffic logs in neighbouring stations, but also with other information systems to support the operational management of railway transport. The electronic traffic log must of course be able to store the entered data for a specified period of time [1].
Old EDR
The original, first EDR (traffic log) in the game, which provided dispatchers with a display of information about trains passing through a given station or switch. The old EDR had the disadvantage that it does not contain localizations, you couldn't view the timetable of the train and it was a purely static page that does not reflect the current information and requirements regarding the corresponding train.
EDR only offerred scheduled times, not actual times.
New EDR
A new, more intuitive and much clearer EDR is currently used in game, offering a better overview of trains.

However, if you open EDR with this link, you won't be able to write there informations. If you want to open EDR in browser and write there, click on button "Additional outpost actions" in dispatcher's HUD, and then click "open timetable in browser".
EDR from the FR community
The first community EDR that was created for the game was from the FR community, which brought many features and improvements to players that the base (original) EDR did not include. This system is constantly evolving and is currently one of the best electronic diaries currently in the game. The system can display all the necessary information about trains passing through a station, including delays and whether the AI or the player is driving the train.
Recently, track position of trains (TPV) and a notebook timetable have also been added.

VirTracks - Discontinued 15.1.2024
Alternative EDR.
TPV
The "TPV" (Train track position) program from the Czech community, which allows communication between dispatchers and the exchange of information between them. Dispatchers can view a graphical form of the timetable. The beta version is currently available for download via CZ discord.
SRTD
SRTD (SimRail Train Describer) graphically represents the position of trains on station tracks or in the autoblock. This type of representation was used as one of the first signalling devices in Italy.
SimRail Train Data Recording System (TDRS)
A train data recording system by Chinese player 信越重工, based on official API. You can check who drives it, the current place of the train, the signal ahead of the train, the limit speed of that signal, and whether it reaches the border of the map successfully. The languages supported are: Chinese, Czech, English and German.
