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 the junction where viaducts would look stupid.

Couple more screenshots from my scenario. Havn't played in a while so I played for about 15 minutes to get a few screenshots.

More Pictures

Some of mine from a map I created for myself. The map was built for my own taste (easy, but nice and big tracks). If anyone want the map, let me know.

More screenshots on the next post.

My new scenario. It's very easy just to make it look good. Also disabled creating junctions on roads so towns are not growing.

Hey everyone, its been a while.

Have a small present that is about 3 months in the making.

So I'm bored, right? I open up Lomo, select the Midwest 100-Year Challenge, set up 2 basic A to B bus lines in Chicago to keep the bankruptcy fairy from visiting , 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.

Part 2:

Exploring the grotesque morass that is AI railroad tracks. Ready! Let's go!

File comment: And can someone tell me what's up with this?

Locomotion is based on the previous game RCT.

New screens. Hope you like them : )

I know that, I own all 3 (and I am fully aware that Chris was only a consultant for the 3rd). I just mean that this stretch of track is pointless.

More screenies not that awesome of pictures but they're something to look at.

Nice to see you have a good time on The Lake District sir BNSF

I need to get back into loco, just too dang busy anymore

@LocoRoller
Can't remember seeing the AI making such a mess ever.

I always try to build as much as possible to cut off these routes. But when there's no interference, they go crazy and build over each other repeatedly. I saw one where 2 of them must have been building at the same time so they ended up having tracks that were wound together...

Started a new game in the diesel age, randomly generated the map. Enjoy!

Why are there gaps in your freight stations?

I have another video for you guys to watch... I guess.

Part 1 of probably 3 or 4.

I'm not sure, I just like combining the 1-sided station and the full freight platform.
