hello, so i have a problem with trains changing the tracks, like if i want them to go straight they will change the track and go left, this problem don't seems to happen everytime and only with one or two trains, but i dont understand why, I just put one directional in front of the tracks, but it doesn't help me, I will put a screenshot with the problem below

Do both ends of the fork lead to the same place?

no, i forgot to mention this, now i created another track and some trains needs to go to another route and some to another route only 1 train got there and when he got back he didn't take the turn again, he went straight, here's another screenshot, the train that needs to take the left turn first goes on the left side of the track and its all good but when he needs to make the exit and go left he continue to go straight

First off, if you want that to be a fully-functional junction then you need to move one of the S-turns. They don't connect properly.

Second, sometimes pathfinding gets messy even when you program the trains to pick the right destination so it helps to use waypoints too. In the route tab, you can tell it to go to a specific part of the track in addition to stations.

I tried fixing the tracks everytime, but it wasn't a problem from them because the train passed one time and the next time he went straight, i tried with every signal, paths, nothing i dont know whats wrong

It would help if I could see the whole track as there's always more going on off-screen.
