Hi there,
I do think that first you should tell us what you are doing with screenies showing up the wagons you are using and the multiple industry configuration you are using. Use the "?" button if you are using Surveyor Classic.

I am using Surveyor Classic. I have a NSW train with 40 foot containers which I picked ujp at a Container Station and now I wasn't to drop them off at another container station with a Deliveries area which says it will receive 40 foot containers but stops and does the right things but the containers stay where they are.
I hope that makes sense

Hi there,
Ok, let's start where you picked up the containers.
The contained side of Alberte
Ok, let's start where you picked up the containers.
- You have to make sure that the second container station delivery area is configured to accept the 40-foot containers - in Surveyor click on the ? button in the scenery mode tab-.
- There many many assets for 40-foot container products. Check that the second container station can consume the same 40-foot container product you have picked at the first one. Also, check that the queue for that container isn't already full. If full, no unload will happen.
- Of course, I want to think that you have emitted the driver commands 'Navigate to... (your second container station --> drop-off or unload area)' and then 'Unload'. If not, no unload will happen.
- It would be very useful for us if you can take screenies of the dialogue window after you click on the ? button of the second container station for us to see if it's configured correctly (as I did above on my screenie).

The standard Trainz "Container Station" industry just loads containers and will not ever unload containers. It does have a track on the other side of the industry's yard that accepts deliveries of General Goods.
There is a sign over the two container loading tracks that, if it has not been edited, will say "Container Station 1" or something similar in larger black letters above the smaller blue lettering. Most of us edit the larger black lettering to a unique industry name. Someone could have put the word deliveries above the blue lettering.
The smaller blue lettering says:
"20 ft CONTAINERS PICK UP THIS WAY"
"GENERAL GOODS DELIVERIES OTHER SIDE OF STORAGE BAY"
"40 ft CONTAINERS PICK UP THIS WAY"
If this is the correct Container Station asset, it will never unload containers. No matter what the sign says.
There used to be a Seaport industry that unloaded containers, but I'm not seeing it in TRS19.
