The route includes the large Rigby Yard. I set the engine 4 switches away from a string of box cars to which it will couple. Each switch is controlled by a dwarf signal. Start the session and the engine moves a few feet and stops - red signal. In fact all signals on the route are red. I thought that only the signal closest to the on-track boxcar would be red, preceded by a yellow and then a green as appropriate.
So, when the train stops it waits about 30 seconds and all the switches in the route to the boxcar change state and back to the original - direct to the box car. The engine moves maybe 1 foot. Stops for 30 seconds and the cycle repeats. After many cycles the engine reaches the next switch. and the show begins again. Leaving the session on natural time or fast-shift time does not change anything. That route is unusable. A conservative response would be that the weird long stops have worsened.
Submitted report.
