    I made a Scenario on Sherman Hill, using another train in front of mine, in order to make the drive very entretaining, with lot of yellows and red lights.
    But surprisingly, despite that train might go to finish at another track on Laramie Yard, - different from mine - , the train does not arrive at that track!
    Mysteriously get stuck on the switch before.
    Please check the map, and a picture of it, as I walked to that position.

    Surprisingly this situation does not ends there.
    Because first I thought, Ok it is an issue of Scenario Planner.
    Note: I repeated that scenario several times, and it always have that dissapointing end!

    But this weekend I was doing one of the timetables of Tharandter Rampe route.
    I was driving a DB BR 143 to Dresden Hbf, and everything was ok, up to approaching that terminal station.
    There I noticed a red light.
    I thought great!
    That is nice because surely I have to wait for another train departing Dresden Hbf.
    But watching ahead I noticed another train on the same track in front of me.
    Ok may be both trains are waiting for another train departing.
    But it payed my attention to see the other train it has the headlights on.
    So it is not going to Dresden, it will doing on my opposite direction.
    There was also a switch in front of it, so it will take it and goes by.
    But nothing happened.

    So I decide to left the train and goes to check the situation...
    First thing I noticed, that train is going to Dresden Hbf!
    But it has the headlights wrongly on!.
    It also has the red lights too. This is OK.

    Please check the picture

    I noticed on other runs these happens with AI trains.
    Which is not right, and might be fixed.

    The other thing I noticed there is no red light in front of it.
    All the lights were green in order to proceed to the terminal station instead!.

    There you see my train, and the other ahead.
    As you can see... the train it is stopped at a switch!... again as it happened on SH above!

    Then I tried something...
    I went to the cabin, and try to take the control of that train.
    I was successfully!
    So I can take it to the terminal and stop there!

    What happened next... the train I was driving the timetable, it also arrived to the terminal as an AI one!

    Please notice the one at the left, is which I took control, and the one at the right my original train.
    You can identify it because it arrived at the station with the cabin door open!.
    As I left it when I went to the other train.

    In the case of the freight train mentioned before on Sherman Hill, I tried the same.
    But strangely on those freight trains, you can not take the control!... Now.
    Because last year before some update, you could do it.
    That is great, because allows you to finish your drive, and get the extra points.

    But something change, and you are not allowed to take the control anymore!
    Which is a pity, because I can not be able to finish the really nice Scenario I created!

    But the main conclusion is AI trains sometimes have problems about getting stacked at switches!.
    On these 2 cases, I noticed both were on passenger terminals or yards.

    DTG might take a look at these issue.
