Why do trains always break when entering the block in front of path signals? Isn&#39;t that courteous? Isn&#39;t that how they&#39;re supposed to work to prevent accidents to entering the block in front of path signals? Don&#39;t they dynamically check that collisions won&#39;t happen? Cuz if they don&#39;t, then yes, they should stop and check before they keep going. Or do they like do they dead stop? because that sounds like an issue if they just stop and don&#39;t go anywhere even though they are supposed to. Again, I&#39;ve actually never played with trains. So, everything I pair out about trains is stuff that I only pick up from the dev side from people making the trains. I haven&#39;t actually played with these myself cuz I&#39;m not a gamer. Yeah, it sounds like exactly. It sounds strange cuz either it&#39;s set up that way and but no no you can&#39;t set up signals to have trains guaranteed stop and check. Not all the time. I&#39;m unsure. I&#39;m going to leave the question afloat cuz I am not confident in them trades.
