Is there way to let two trains pass junction simultaneously?

Post by jxw00100 »

Hi, I have problem with signals and juction.
Please look at my screeshot,which gives a good example to explan.
When there is a terminate station with all in and out tracks put in the same direction, it only allow on train to come in or leave out.
That doesn't matter if there are only a few trains, but if I got many trains it will be a serious problem. If one train came into the junction, all other trains have to be waiting. It causes trafic jam. I know it is better to use RO-RO station, but sometime you still have to use the terminate station when the maps is complex. Does anyone know a way to help resolve my problem? Like how I shoud put my signals? Thanks!

the simple answer is no, its hard coded in the exe and is one of the let downs of the game, the only best way to get round this is with the RO-RO station

That's the problem with having a junction with too many tracks. I only do those types of junctions if I only have 2 platforms.

Looks like you are wanting Path Based Signals, which do not exist in Loco.
