Consumed all my brain power today between playing around with drivers, consists, track markers, direction markers and i'm getting stumped with how to solve this.
Using RRSignal's Searchlight Signals, in basic mode for now while I figure this out.
This is part of a main line, tracks are bi-directional. Signals at interlock are 3-headed at all 4 points, and there are single-headed signals in each direction a few km down the track.
Train 2 for example needs to crossover from the south track to the north track.
What is happening is Train 2 will lock JS1 and JN1 without issues or slow downs and proceed through the crossover and down the track.
Train 1 will lock JN1 and even JN2 but will stop fully at the SL3 signal in front of the interchange before it locks JS2, gets the green light and starts forward again through the interlock.

Train 2
Could just be my inexperience in route building as I am new to Trainz again since 2006 and I have focused most of my time on laying track for my first DEM section, but i wanted to test running some AI on the track I have laid out with the real life signal placement.
I recreated this in a test route but even with track direction taken into consideration (which, will track direction affect the AI's navigation ability that much?) the results were the same.
What am I missing?
