Train won't run, No Path???

Post by Jananton »

Well, the title says it all, I try to run a single track train between point A and point B.
Manually it's no problem, but on automatic it drives to one station, but for the way back all the time it says No Path?
And yes, the train has locomotives at both ends. How is this supposed to work? All tutorials I found are for earlier versions
of the game it seems (version here 0.14.21 build 25327 win64 steam)... :?

Greets,

Make sure the locomotives are facing opposite directions.

Make sure the stations are on opposite sides of the track (1 on one side, the other at the other end across from it)

If you have signals on a single 2 way track make sure there is a 2nd signal directly across from it.

Thanks for the reply Nexela.

In the mean time I've figured out what I did wrong. As signals, the stations need to be placed at the right hand side of the track depending on the train driving direction.

So yes, the stations weren't on opposite sides of the track. Fixed, and all is running fine now. 8-)

Greets,

Jan
