rail routing trouble

Hi guys,

I'm stuck with this rail routing. I could just make two separate railways but that's not efficient, and as you can see there's not much traffic going on

Download link provided, I'm hoping someone can take it, and fix it for me? I don't know what I'm doing with rail signals and block sectors. Thanks.

i took a look at the save provided and was able to fix your trains. here is the save back. i placed hazard concrete around the signals that i changed/ added.

the issue was that there was only one signal as far as i could tell and factorio only allows 1 train per block when they are in automatic mode. the tracks between each signal is consider a separate block as long as all tracks the connect to that block are separated from each other. if you hover the mouse over a signal it will tell what blocks in front and behind it that its a part of. tracks also list there blocks
