The Iron train will come down from the north and try to go south. While in the loop it decides it wants to to west instead effectively deadlocking itself.
This is repeatable, every 20 or so mins a train will deadlock itself doing this.
Train Recalculates Path in Roundabout Causing a Jam.
Re: Train Recalculates Path in Roundabout Causing a Jam.
The train is not deadlock, he just stopped to let 4-5 train pass. Weird but surely the loading is in cause. And he does go south. I have let 1 hour pass ingame (with speed) and no deadlock nor strange behavior. If you do have deadlock it might be mods related (I load with vanilla factorio).
Want more space restriction ? Or maybe you want to be forced to use train for other thing than ore and oil ? Try Building Platform Mod !
Re: Train Recalculates Path in Roundabout Causing a Jam.
Odd, I thought it might have been a mod related bug so I tested it without mods, and it still locks for me.
Edit: Actually now that I just left it alone on 60x and waited for it it does eventually end up moving on with its original path. Though it shouldn't be stopping in the middle of chain signals like that in the first place.

Re: Train Recalculates Path in Roundabout Causing a Jam.
I haven't check other roundabout and the one we are after saving don't have other waiting weirdness beside the one when we load, but I see that it is not deadlock, but just waiting for other train to pass. Might be related to high traffic on your roundabout. I don't have that much traffic on mine and don't use roundabout anywhere beside near main station. Maybe someone else can give an explanation for this behavior.

Dont put signals on the roundabout itself, just on the entries/exits. And another tip is make your signal blocks at least as big as your biggest train is, so one can always fit into a signal block.
