Train stops at signals and does not go on second rail

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Train stops at signals and does not go on second rail

Post by Jurgen773 »

Hi,

I am having a problem with trains, i have two oil trains that go to the same oil unload station and i have twi rails before the enternace to the oil unload track main track is used when first train goes into the station it passes through and starts unloading, but when right after him goes the second train it is supposed to go to the second enternace rail so it clears path for the first train to go out... But it just stays at the intersection and does not go to that rail even tho he can...

Please help i allready wasted like 2 hrs on this and still no luck..

Intersection beetwen the main enternace rail (bottom left track), second enternace track (bottom right track), way to oil processing (top left track) and the circle track for changing the train direction (top right track)

On the left enternce to the main enternace track on the right enternace to the second enternace track (you can see the train does not go to the second enternace track so it does not clear path for the train that is allready in the unloading area)

You are overcomplicating things, either let the second train drive right behind the first train and don't merge the entrance route with the exit route, or make the left side of the passing place direction south only.

Easy solution to this problem is to not have that siding there and instead, use a signal to cut the endloop into 2 blocks, one containing the stop itself, the other, the exit path back onto the 2-way rail system. What happens is this: train 1 goes to station, train 2 won't be allowed to go into 2-way network until the station is cleared. Which happens when train 1 finishes unloading, as it will then move into the 2nd block, waiting to re-enter the 2-way system. It will then be stopped temporarily by the signal at the merge because that block is now part of train 2s path into the now unoccupied block containing the station. Once train 2 arrives, train 1 is free to leave.
