I laied this line to get ore from mining facility to base, where I could process it. When I found, that one train wasn't enough, I tries to adapt this line to serve two trains at once. I went though many eterations, but non of them worked. Can someone tell me where my problem is?

Just to the right of the station near your base, where the loop comes together innto a single track, the first signal is only on one side, which only lets trains pass through that segment of rail in one direction. This means that the train can't path there. Other than that, it looks fine. It won't get you especially high throughput, but it should be able to handle two trains fairly well.

Don't you mean near his Iron ore outpost? Because he has paired signals at the other end. But yes, that unpaired signal is the problem because trains are supposed to be able to go past that spot in either direction, which means it's 2-way rail, and needs to be signaled as such.

Спасибо (thanks)! Didn't quite understand that line, but your reply got me to think about building small test railroad. Which helped a lot. Problem solved

Yep, sorry, I meant the ones near the iron mine.
