How to set minecarts to go back and forth?

[Shiranai]

So, I built my first track and part 1 is working fine. Dwarfs gather things on the surface, fill the minecart and kick it to the bottom of my fort.
When it comes to taking the cart back up, I configured it so the dwarfs will guide it back using the same track, however, they are taking the cart and putting it back on the surface using the stairs.
How do I do it properly? do I need to set a "circular" track?

Did you set the return trip as a second stop in your route?

To clarify the previous reply, make sure the conditions on the end stop are set to guide the cart back in the opposite direction upon the cart being emptied. The only other issue I can think of would be an obstruction, but if that were the case the cart wouldn't make it to the end stop in the first place.

So for example on a north-south two-stop route:
Stop #1: Guide north when full
Stop #2: Guide south when empty

Long story short - the route only "loops" if you tell it to.

[Shiranai]

Yes.
If I set it to be kicked, they even kick the mine cart, but as it is an upward course, the mine cart just slides back.

[Entrappedmind]

So they'll kick it for the return trip, but not guide it, and rather carry it back to the starting stop? That's odd, to be sure. I've only run into that when they can't pathfind on the track itself (due to an obstruction or the track being unfinished or what-have-you), but as I said that wouldn't be an issue if the route can go from point A to point B without a hitch. And if they're successfully kicking it, that rules out the direction being incorrectly set.

Unless there's something stupidly simple that I'm missing, I'm stumped.

Maybe something with burrows preventing dwarves from walking the track?

[Smurf-O-Pax]

Maybe he accidentally created a jump. The Minecart will go down but not up.

[Shiranai]

Well.. don't know exactly why, but I just deconstructed the stops and constructed again, setting the same rules as before and now it is working.
Thank you all!
