#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]].
