Make them one way signals not two way, other one way signals point other way, while others other, that way you avoid that jam. Only Station Platform entrences and exits should have two way signals.

After changing all the lights, they still get stuck!

if you click on the signals with build signal tool, you will change them to one-way signals
Make all the trains drive in either left or right side and you will avoid this

Here's an example for you. Notice the pre-signals which are made holding Ctrl down. This will help you avoid train jams if you have more trains than you have station slots.

I don't get it. If i make all the signals into one way signals, none of the trains can pass any signal!

Were these even in the original TTD/TTDX? I don't recall ever using them at all!

Nope, they were introduced with TTDPatch. They are awesome

Gotcha. Thank you. I'll give that a bash tonight.

Here is my save game that needs some suggestions on how to improve the flow... the congestion is starting to hurt. As you see the "main" lines and stations are the worst

Any Ideas ???

Use Unload and Full-load, works much better than the system you got that trains visit multiple stations..also use pre-signals in name of Chris Sawyer!and what the heck graphic set your using cause i had mail-cars wich looked like steam-engines.
