The glitching trucks are an unfortunate bug which imo should have been out of the game by now.Cargo train, a new concept on the city and village railway tracks, is ready on the station to get loaded with cars & oil barrels. It appears that cargo trains really need a bypass and get stopped at a passenger station by default if there aren't any. For now I just removed the cargo station and created a bypass from the existing rails-line, which works perfectly.

I think the cargo trains that don't need to stop at this station are trying to use the passenger station as a "by pass" rail. Originally posted by OneJasonBradly:It looks to me you could use a bypass line. There is something bigger going wrong here. The truck traffic driving through both stations but not before driving over the tram medium.

It may hold ideas for you.īUT try the by pass line first then contemplate the separation of these lines. I also to control the amount of trains have a separate national (outside connection) line.Ĭlips of my cities "rail yard" and why it was built. I in fact separate the local cargo and passenger lines.

For this reason it may be good to separate passenger from cargo lines. Though if you have a few of each station then traffic on the line will become thick and back up constantly. It is ok to have passenger and cargo on the same line. It looks to me you could use a bypass line. External trains clog internal lines just as much as cargo trains. If you have an extensive train network, have only a few accepting external passengers. This configuration usually requires spurs to be at least as long as 1 train on each side of the station, to prevent traffic snarls. The drawbacks are that this is not very realistic and also results in decreased capacity due to trains running in the outer lane having to cross the inner set of tracks of the main line to access the station. curve - express passenger and cargo trains should pass the train station. Unless the main line is longer than the spur for whatever reason - i.e. Alternatively, and simpler to implement, you can use 2 platform stations, with them offset the main line, and connected by a spur.

Use 4+ platforms, lay tracks to the non-stopping trains to the middle platforms, with train lines stopping using the side platforms. Do not use 2 platform stations for combined networks. Take this into consideration when planning a mixed traffic layout. The main thing to remember is that trains in general will take the shortest path in and out to their destination. Unfortunately with no proper signaling tools or direct control over these external routes is hard to control them, but with some proper track and station layout it is possible to run a combined cargo and passenger rail network.
