tracks – Train Fever

Multitrack lines

Hello all.

I’m a newbie to Train Fever and I have the following question:

I have a line that ends up at station track that has another line ends up on the same track but from the other side of it, however I have other tracks vacant at the same station so the question is:

How can I setup the signals/waypoints so that I have all the tracks at single station could be used for ANY line that ends up at this station, for example:

1 train occupied the 1st track, 2nd train comes to a station and occupies the nearest vacant track (despite its “essential” track is occupied).

Similar thing is done in ‘Sid Mier’s Railroad Tycoon’

Indestructible tracks

When building long bridges or tunnels I often end up with large pieces of tracks that I then later cant delete. I figured that in some cases I can break up the tracks by cutting them up in pieces by adding an intersection. but not always, and never with tunnels.

First I though, well they will patch it at some point, but now in late game it reached a point where its game breaking.

I’m not the only one right?

any way to fix it?

"Track is blocked" is no fun

After playing 76 hours I’d like to talk about an anoying feature with no need:

Often, if I try to attach/remove another signal, crossing or electrification to existing track, the message “Track is blocked” will appear. Why? Okay, technically I know there is another train on that track (though I sometimes might have to try which one), and in most cases I can stop this train, do what I want and get the train back going. But as a player I must say: do we really need that? To be honest it is just a great way of wasting time to wait for all blocking vehicles to pass by, or stop them. It also causes traffic jams when there is no need for them.

I also see that in reality there would be a certain risk for the workers fiddling around with track if there are trains on it. But in a game? Come on, please give us the comfort to just do this! I don’t call this “error” but I am talking about ergonomics here…
