I've been building my base, at the moment, i do not use any mod at my game, I was trying to create two iron ore unloading stations, but I don’t know how to configure the signals to make everything work, below are the prints of how my tracks are and how everything is organized, please I need help, these signs are very complicated for me
My other stations looks like this:

Please, i need help, I need the train to pass at the fork while there is no other passing, I need it while a train is coming or going from the iron mine, the train at the fork wait, I need it in a situation where the two trains are at the mine iron, they don't collide while one is filling with ore

If possible, please send me images of how to configure this railway system, and if necessary, please send me a step by step of how I configure it

I always recommend this tutorial https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... ts_23_and/

Edit: Adding a link to aaargha's two way rail tutorial. viewtopic.php?f=194&t=53937 .

Not really what you want to hear, I’m sure, but you should consider switching to a two-track system, rather than using the one-track system. Two one-way tracks allow for a lot more traffic on the rail system, including for two trains traveling in opposite directions to get past one another. One two-way track does not really allow for trains to pass one another, and are very easy to signal for a deadlock.

Pretty much the only thing I found myself using others' blueprints for is to manage the scale (and signalling minutia) of bidirectional rails, e.g.:
