How to fix train not moving

[ermuhhhhermmmmmm]

The train is sitting on the railway crossing and is not moving

Go into graphics and change the game scaling, this will reset the traffic and trains count as traffic. You can set scaling back to how it was after, or just leave it till next time game messes up.

thanks but the problem fixed itself after a couple minutes

It most likely happened because a vehicle blocked the crossing. Unlike real life, trains in the game will always stop for blocked crossings. If the crossing you were at was close enough, it would cause the issue you experienced.

Depending on the reason for the blocked crossing it may resolve itself, it may not. One may have to do as redgreen999 suggested and reset traffic.

Another common trick to get that train out-of-the-way is to make a Quick Save (default key Scroll Lock) and then reload that save. Press ESC. Click Save&Load (in the bottom row of icon) and then Load Game.

is it at the aircraft factory in Everett? In the game this place is known for stuck trains.

Ich habe bemerkt wenn ich zuweit am Schranken stehe das der Zug nicht weiter fährt,also ein stück zurücksetzen.

You mean, unless like in real life where trains might need several km/miles to come to a stop, trains ingame can stop immediately.

This is exactly the bug that had me googling this problem... And this solution worked perfectly.

easiest solution would be for scs to prevent the trains from slowing down just because crossings are messed or blocked. if people want to be idiots and cross the tracks while there is a train coming, then they deserve to take that 600 tons of metal in the face at full speed.

Back up a bit or save and reload.
