I now play with West of Denver (in TS 2022 PE) which I modified and made a custom schedule for. The other night my scheduled train stopped dead cold when it came to "Drive Via Sulphur Loop Exit". It then dawned on me that I had a short time earlier deleted a small section of track that track marker so named laid upon. I was changing out one kind of track for another in Surveyor Classic while editing a small piece of track on the route. I had forgotten about that particular track marker there because I had laid it in Edit Session. In Edit Route, objects such as track markers and trains that were placed in Edit Session are hidden. In Edit Route, I placed a new track marker where the old one was deleted and gave it the same name as the original sans quotes, "Sulphur Loop Exit". I ran the same train again and it stopped dead on the track when it got to 'Drive Via Sulphur Loop Exit" as it had done the the first time. I opened up Driver Setup where drivers of trains were issued schedules and checked the drop-down menu under Drive Via. There were two track markers listed under the name of Sulphur Loop Exit. Deleting the original track marker so named from a given route did not also delete it from the drop-down menu for adding commands to the schedule line. The drop-down menu retains a roster of names of even track markers that were deleted. Older editions of Trainz have acted this way as well. So, I had to rename the new track marker as Sulphur Loop Exit 2. AI recognized the new track marker with the altered name and the train ran the schedule well when tested a third time. On all my trains schedules with 'Drive Via Sulphur Loop Exit" on the command lines, I had to swap out "Sulphur Loop Exit" for "Sulphur Loop Exit 2".
Another odd thing is that driveable vehicles (trains) must be put on tracks in Session Edit and not Route Edit. It seems that TS 2022, unlike TANE and earlier, requires trains to be part of the Session layer. I haven't checked yet to see if the window issue was fixed in my TS 22 Schedule Library so my train schedules are still written in Driver Setup. With Schedule Library one can easily copy schedules, name schedules, categorize schedules and have two or more drivers easily share the same schedule. Setting command objects on schedule lines is a real pain with all the drop-down menus to navigate through.
Please tell me why this happens. Why does the session editor retain the names of track markers that were deleted from the route?
