Is there a driver command that will set a particular junction? I have the set junction rule, but it seems to be a session rule and not one I can use to put in my schedules for a certain train consists. I am using TS 2010EE Build 42203. I am using AI running my route. I have a yard that is on both sides of a main line. I am trying to couple to 5 empty coal hoppers on the A side of the yard and then go to the B side and couple to 5 other empty coal hoppers. I have no trouble coupling to the first set, but to couple to the other set I have to go onto the main line and back in to the siding on the B side. When the train backs into the B side of the yard the switches do not switch to the siding where the second set of hoppers are. The train backs clear past the siding and searches for the hoppers to couple to. It finally goes back out onto the main line and backs in again, and this time the switches set OK. It would be great if I could set up a driver command in each of my trains schedule to switch to the siding that a particular train needs. All my coupling commands seem to be right etc. I have tried trackmarks and signals etc. but nothing seems to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Set Junction Driver Command?

learning curve for AI
I have experienced in the past, that AI will act unexpectedly until it "learns" a route. If it performs a task several times, it will then perform as you would expect it to. Since this is all logic, that unexpected behavior would seem counter-intuitive. Perhaps the "direction" the track is laid is causing AI to make decisions that are against the rules, thus causing it to run past junctions, etc...
Just a guess.

Yes, beings my train is backing into the siding, maybe this is causing problems. Although I suspect there are a lot of routes that have to do with backing into a siding to sort cars etc. Don't know how they do this.
