Well, it depends if you have it in reverse or forward....you were suppose to be going in reverse on your way to conkelly. I am assuming you entered the siding in reverse. I am not sure if the siding connects to the main track at both ends or not. If it does, then keep going in reverse until your train is back on the main track again....see if that works.
OK....that's what I was wondering. According to instructions you posted, you are suppose to pull back onto the main track so that the last car is past the junction and stop....then you are suppose to get further instructions. Did you get instructions? I would assume that you would now be going forward to the next destination so I wouldn't think you need to switch the junction...
Greg,
, sorry if you knew all that)
Unfortunately that session isn't in my UK version of TRS2006 so I can't check it. (Other guyz, is it in the US edition, or TRS2007 perhaps?)
For a glossary of terms relating to real railways, Trainz and computers, try this.
This level of confusion is totally normal when starting out with Trainz. Things will become clearer and much more enjoyable as you spend more time with the program.

That sounds like it's the Marias Pass or Montana Rail Link layout, yes? (Kalispell is in northwestern Montana just west of Glacier National Park, excellent town, spectacularly beautiful country, probably the westernmost Hardee's

Your train needs to stop far enough away from the junction to allow the junction to change direction, presumably so you can then go in the opposite direction down the other track. Allow maybe two or three loco lengths from the junction but it can vary. You almost certainly need to come to a complete stop, not a crawl. If it's on a gradient then you might need to apply some power in the opposite direction or apply the brakes and this will vary between DCC mode and CAB mode. DCC is simpler, CAB is more realistic. (Applying opposite power to keep stationary is a total no-no with real locos with electric-powered wheels as it will burn out the electric motors but ok in Trainz)

It is a demo. There are various full versions and their relative merits are hotly debated here. I'm going to go out on a limb and advise TRS2004 (should be budget software now) or not quite so good TRS2006 (also budget), then register with us (Razorback Railway) to give you access to a wide range of activities in which you do the driving. OK shameless self promotion over, now the other guyz can say what they'd advise

TS2009 isn't ready yet, it's still being developed.
TRS2004 and TRS2006 would suit you better I think. They are fully developed, they have a very wide range of high quality material available, and they are (probably) available as budget software (they are five pounds each in British shops). With either you can download additional layouts, buildings, rolling stock and activities, and you can also create your own layouts. You don't need both versions, only one or the other. Personally I prefer TRS2004 because it has what I consider to be a far simpler and more reliable system for managing items but there are plenty of people who prefer TRS2006. It's a 50/50 value call.
I still don't know why that session you're struggling with isn't behaving itself. How are you getting on with the other sessions?
