I am planning to put a length of single track into my route, on which 4 car passenger trains and 20 car logging trains will pass to get to and from logging camps and stations.
The single track section will be about 4km long while steadily climbing 500 meters. There will be a siding in the middle for trains to cross over. If I was to signal ever 400 metres, there would be 5 signals between one entrance and the crossover point. I am worried that if I set AI trains to spawn from a portal and complete tasks, they will end up causing trouble, as I suspect this will happen. Imagine train U going up the hill and train D going down the hill. The line would look like this:
Train D
Signal Crossover - Green
Crossover point
Signal 6 Green
Signal 7 Yellow
Signal 8 Red
Signal 9 Yellow
Signal 10 Green
Two track section becomes single track ^
Signal 11 - Green
Train U
Is there a chance that the two trains could end up blocking eachother head on if this was to happen? Would one of the trains realise that while the initial block ahead is clear, it will eventually run into another train, and stop either train and let the other one pass through? If not, is there a rule I can use that would implement this, so that the entire single track section would be checked for trains, and in the above case Train D or U would stop and let the other one pass?
