"textContent": "skc: You don't want those signals facing the stations, just after the junction. A train that stops there will block the junction, which is how deadlocks happen. You always want one train length between a signal and the previous junction, so that a train stopped at said signal is fully clear of the junction.\n\nThis is how I would signal it, with path signals at the station exits and a one-way path signal before the junction at the station entrance.\n\nI've included two options for depots, at a station or along the line, one per track.\n\n(The station exit signals are not strictly necessary for dead-end stations like this, but they are required if the railway continues beyond the station, and how real railways build signals).\n\n\nStatistics: Posted by 2TallTyler — 15 Apr 2026 14:38\n\n* * *",
