Stuck Train (?) - don't know why

[Subtle]

I've been trying to fix this for 5 hours, please see stuck train[www.dropbox.com], any help with be very much appreciated, I'm at a complete loss.

Have you tried changing the red signal to a chain signal?

open its properties window there will be (?) then clickon that, it will move camera to place where is the problem. maybe it cant reach its destination from that place, you can try send it to depot and then release it from there.

Could you please explain why a Chain Signal should be appropriate here?

Hey Rob, this might not solve your issue but I don't think you need that set of signals between the release signals of the diamond and the junction/merge. What I would do, though, is back the diamond up toward the station/where the train is now, make sure you have at least 1 train length between the station and diamond AND another one between the diamond and your merge.

This. And replace all chain signals *except* the one entering the diamond with default one-way.

What's that node south of the red signal? This looks like a disconnected track to me?

[Comrade Sky]

I don't think any are deleted. You probably flipped a switch somewhere.

Ah, that annoying disconnected track piece Good times!

I know It might sound rather not very smart.

I suggest you just set way point for each of the rail paths.

The game current coding for rail decision is the shortest path which would more than often leads to train going puzzled(half the time they are going bonkers when looking for a refuel...).

Also try to build one way loops to ensure trains do not "zip up the wrong lines"

This ended up being my solution unstuck_train[www.dropbox.com]. The trains don't use the loop on the left, but they remain stuck without it!

Wow thats complex..

the waypoints I used(I was so fed up by the decision the train makes thus I dictate their pathing XD)

and this is the configuration for the central trainyard I used, which all ends in loops

One of the more complicated station with multiple routes

Lastly, a triple fork for a 3 train system.

I can't make anything off the pre signalling. so I do not use them, also I try to avoid multiple trains on a single track and make sure there is only one train running on a single track(this even applies on single direction path rails)
