CRR PS5 CRR Extra 3014 Southbound coal 16:41 in SD40. Approaching Allen Storage, came around curve and stopped at red signal. Track ahead was blocked with empty hoppers and an AI train was doing some sort of switching maneuver (AI was First Moss Turn Part 2 service). AI train pulled along side me on opposite track, and was supposed to back up to grab the hoppers that were in my way. AI train got stuck at a red light there and could never complete his job. Therefore my track stayed blocked and I could never proceed. 2 days in a row I’ve put over an hour into a freight service in this game only to get blocked by some kind of bug . No wonder most people seem to prefer the short passenger stuff.
Tried the same service again today. Exact same problem. I think it’s safe to say that this service is BROKEN at the point where it intersects with Moss Turn Part 2. Moss turn pulls up to Allen, breaks apart his train at 17:25, pulls some loaded coal hoppers out of a siding, pulls up to the point where he’s supposed to reverse and reconnect to the rest of his train, then gets stuck at a red light that’s bugged. Seems like the dispatcher considers his own disconnected cars as a track blockage and wont let him proceed back to connect them. So then he just sits there forever and the track is blocked forever. Screenshots attached of the point at which the service is broken.
This got my attention, same happens on pc! I run the free mode for a long time, and it was always this one made problems. Everything else works fine at clinchfield.
Good to know it not just me. I am not sure if anyone at DTG actually reads this forum for reports but I also submitted the same info on a ticket.
They do, they fixed a lot with the red signal bug. There was a service at elkhorn not proceeding out of the map because it couldnt reach the stopping point infront of the signal. But this bug is different, because the train doesnt move to its task to couple the wagons.
