  |  | #REDIRECT [[Railway#Automated transport]]  | 
 | __NOTOC__
  |  | 
 | * Automated transport makes only sense if you have minimum two [[Railway network/Train stop|train stops]].
  |  | 
 | * You need at least two [[Railway network/Train stop|train stops]] and a [[Vehicle/Train|train]]. 
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | == Basic ==
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | * When you build your first automated transport, try to make it simple!
  |  | 
 | * Enter the train by pressing enter-key.
  |  | 
 | * To setup a train route right click on your locomotive,
  |  | 
 | * add minimum two stops and click the start button.
  |  | 
 | * If the train is [[fuel|fueled]] it will start immediately.
  |  | 
 | * Drive with the train, to look, if it works.
  |  | 
 | * To [[Vehicle/Train/Driving|drive the train manually]], make sure, you '''turned off the automatic'''!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | == Advanced ==
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | * When right-clicking on the locomotive you can set up a schedule:
  |  | 
 | ** The lower window are the list of all existing [[Railway network/Train stop|train stops]],
  |  | 
 | ** the upper window is the route, the train should do.
  |  | 
 | ** You can open the map (M) to see all stop-names.
  |  | 
 | ** The highlighted entry is the current target.
  |  | 
 | ** Hit the +-button to add a train stop below the above selected train stop.
  |  | 
 | ** [[Railway network/Train schedule]]: Time which the train will wait at the selected train stop.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | For the other functions see the mouse hover info.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | === Train doesn't start? ===
  |  | 
 |  
  |  | 
 | * train is fueled? See [[Vehicle/Train/Refueling]].
  |  | 
 | * Needs the train to turn?
  |  | 
 | ** make possibilities for [[Vehicle/Train/Reverse driving|one-sided trains to turn around]] or
  |  | 
 | ** make [[Vehicle/Train/Reverse driving|locomotives at both ends]].
  |  | 
 | * Misplaced or nonfunctional [[Railway network/Track compositions|switches]]?
  |  | 
 | * Another train on the same [[Railway network/Segment]] or [[Railway network/Block]]?
  |  | 
 | * [[Railway network/Train stop]]: placed in [[Railway network/Right-hand traffic|'''right-hand side of expected train direction''']]?
  |  | 
 | * [[Railway network/Signal]]s: allowed to enter from the right direction? Signals set correctly?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | === No path? ===
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | When trains cannot reach the target and stands still, while a "no path" pops up over the locomotive. Check:
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | * Can the train reach every station by '''only driving forward'''? Build [[Vehicle/Train/Reverse driving|turning slopes or place a locomotive at both ends]] of a train!
  |  | 
 | * Are the train stops standing in the right direction? Train stops stand at the right side of the track!
  |  | 
 | * if you use [[Rail signal]]s, check that the signals are all allowing traffic in the correct direction. See [[Railway network/Signal/Block signal]].
