Sorry Britons not that kind of Double Yellow. So I finally finished the track and signal work. Now often on this route I see one yellow signal and in the very next block the signal another yellow. This is somewhat prototypical of the MTA it is still odd, and I'd like to know why it happens.
Next thing, on my line Local and Express tracks merge into a two track run. On the two local tracks there are branches that lead to the yard, the flyover to the yard, and a beer factory. On the two track line there is a crossover to the westbound track, and another crossover going the opposite way. As a local train tries to exit to the two track road it is met by a red. The red says "Next signal block occupied by another train" I check that all switches are set for the trains route. He has the lineup, nobody wrong railing the line.
After clicking on the red it takes me to the home signal of the crossover, and its yellow, which is strange, the only way to fix this is to line up one of the crossovers to the eastbound track, the train will throw the switch before it reaches, but it clears the signal long enough to proceed, how can I prevent the reverse red?
