But not that it won't completely solve it (both with or without a station): if a train is waiting on the crossing for a green light the train coming from the other track still has to stop. So it's a partly compromise, but not the best solution. You could decide to make all block as long as your longest trains, but that is quite a hassle to do and takes up a lot of space.
At last you could decide to make a flyover, as done in modern real life more often these days (at least in Western Europe, but the UK may be an exception). There's some nice flyover viaduct somewhere floating on the internet for lomo, dunno where though.
Well I use such viaducts on highspeed lines, on local ones traffic is not so heavy to bother. The problem is my freight network couse its pretty big and has plenty of branches. Sometimes when it's really needed I use flyovers but it doesnt look good. I just would like to make the network the most realistic and the most effective. I know its not possible in Loco to get both but Im trying to max it. Also I have standard for trains ex. max 20 tiles for freight trains, 15 for fast passenger train and 8 for local train. It's very hard to create such network just becouse such solution needs too much space, especially for freight lines. I thought that there might be some mod for it.
Some examples of flyovers where it looks good but uses some space

, and leave it on super-fast-forward for a few hours while I do some housework. The result is a hideous morass of AI railroad track.
