    I'm on the Miami Tri-Rail route playing the Pompano switching service with the GP38-2, I'm nearly 45 minutes in at the siding at Deerfield Beach station, I've picked up the wagon and am waiting for the signal to change, but when I contact the signaller, it's telling me I'm off path, how do I get around this? I'm not tryna redo 45 minutes of a 55 minute service.

    When I go past and click load last checkpoint, it just puts me back in the siding because I've collected a wagon.

    Restarting. Once you are off path, the dispatcher does not know what to do

    You can reverse your way out of an off path, but it only really works when you are shunting in a yard because you will have a red behind you most other places.

    DTG needs to give players more control over the dispatcher mode like allowing a us to turn a signal from Red to clear, switching controls and the ability to edit an AI train schedule like for example I don’t know what service but on Morristown but a train gets stuck out side of Newark broad street around the evening going westbound because the signal prior to the station refuses to turn From Red, As a player I would like the ability to override the DISPATCHER and clear that signal and allow the AI to proceed next waypoint if off path
