A built in item, Flour Mill, I've added to my route, along a stretch of track. It is recognized in Find Objects, and in session rule: Navigate to, however, a train given a command to go there and unload, will not move. Suggestion?
Rik81 - Are you using '<kuid2:61119:28197:1> Flour Mill 1' by natvander?
I just put that into one of my routes and added a new session where I delivered wheat and other grains (as industry inputs) and picked up bags of flour (as output).
If yours is the same and still not working, check to see that the loading track is correctly connected to your chosen rail and that you have configured the boxcars or wagons to pick up the exact commodity output (in this case 'flour bags').
(Look for any possible - and unwanted - double-ring connection indicators at the rail spline joints).

Make sure there is plenty of empty track beyond the mill, and that the line is correctly terminated with a signal or signal/buffer. If the line beyond the mill has a switch make sure it is set correctly - AI will not switch junctions beyond the next load destination.
Yes to the kuid number. I did extend the track some, and added an End track piece on it. Still not working. I note that my flour mill did not have a piece of track attached is that the problem?
Of course a work around would be to lay down a Multi-Industry New track and wire it up, but the flour mill is already "wired up".
Me bad (face red) -- I did not have the track connected correctly. Still not completely solved, though I need to play with it more. The "shed" the cars are supposed to pass through is to short (or track to high, ha ha). I guess the easy thing is to adjust the vertex height of the track on either side. (My loaded gondola's cut through the roof). However, the train just backed to first car in place and stop, not recognizing the Unload command. Oh dummy about to do it again. Cant just change track height because track is attached to building. Maybe PC_Ace can tell me what cars he was using to carry his grain?
Yup - the loading gauge is better suited to narrow gauge railways like our diminutive 42" (3ft 6" gauge) New Zealand railways.
Massive, standard gauge hoppers and locos pass through the veranda canopy!
Problem I'm finding now is to get a compatible bakery customer/ end-user which takes 'flour bags' and NOT (bulk) flour or palleted ones only.
May have to consider creating my own using Multi-Industry New bakery after all.
