Could an alert system be set up in Trainz using triggers to alert the user to train movements?
Real world example below:
Many years ago, my neighbor was a telegraph operator.
He controlled approximately a 50 mile section of track via train orders which were taken VIA the telegraph, written down then tied up on the order pole for the passing trains to grab as they passed. On his desk was a signal box, with a diagram of the tracks he controlled. When a train would come into his territory, a light would illuminate on the diagram indicating train movement and a bell would ring , alerting him that a train was entering his "territory". We would watch as each lamp lit as the train moved through the succeeding blocks.
Seems to me, that this would be similar to the hot box detectors currently available in Trainz.
