Single Track ATC

[bnsfc]

I'm trying to set up a "base" session for the legacy of the BN, so I can just plop a consist down and drive the line without it being a ghost line. However I cant get the AI's to cooperate. they keep having cornfield meets with each other and me at the signals in-between the passing sidings. I don't want to pack the line but it would be nice to have a few roaming around. is there some combination of AI rules that will do this? or a new rule?

Try using some wait until... commands for your AI so they don't all start at the same time as you. This will give some time for you to get started ahead of the AI and to gain control of the line before they do.

You can also use invisible signals that can be controlled (set to stop) by using the "Set Signal" Rule. The rule (or more likely multiple copies of the rule) can be activated by triggers along the track so one approaching train can set the signals to prevent another train entering from the opposite direction. Those signals can then be reset (set to proceed or to automatic) when the first train clears the single line section.

But I am sure that those who are familiar with Interlocking Towers can also provide you with a solution.
