priorities

[AB80135]

can anyone enlighten me as to which way round the train priorities work.
IE:train prioritie [1] [2] [3] is 1 for xp 2 for semi fast 3 for frieght or is it the other way round,i have tried them both ways but the slow frieght train still gets prioritie over the xp passenger train at a junction?
cheers people

Thats not how it works - trains will attempt to use track of the same priority as the train.

Further to what Shane has said it should be noted that a train will ignore the priority setting for a track if you instruct it to go to a station, trackmark or industry that is on a piece of track that is different to the one you have set for the train.

It is also useful for keeping trains from taking "short cuts" through yards by setting the entry track(s) to the yard as priority 3 for example and all trains to either 1 or 2. This is an alternative to using trackmarks.

It is also possible to change the priority setting for a train by instructing it to "navigate(drive) via trackmark then using the command, priorityz, <kuid:66277:80003>, to change the priority of the train so that a follows a different path until you want it to return to its original path by issuing the priorityz command a second time after another navigate via trackmark command.
