One-Tunnel Automatic Session CRB

One-Tunnel Automatic Session CRB

A busy day at the Golden hub of the CPR Mountain Sub, with increased traffic on the Windermere branch line because the MacDonald Tunnel (further west on the main line) is closed for maintenance and repair. Trains are emitted at roughly 80-minute intervals at WestUnPortal and EastUnPortal on the main line, and at roughly 120-minute intervals at SouthUnPortal on the branch line. Trains are emitted in random order, which may cause congestion at various choke points.

Train drivers have their orders, but are blocked at entrances to single track and at the crossings of Golden Junction until it is safe to proceed. The Dispatcher session makes you responsible for switching the blocking junction(s) giving access to single track or crossing; appropriate rules do this in the Automatic session (the blocking junctions are locked in that case). Junctions are reset automatically to the blocking position after passage of a train.

Access to the run-out sections towards the UnPortals is always handled automatically, simply by means of an open time window after a new train has been emitted.

It is possible to operate your own train in a running session, or even to take control of an AI train. Just make sure to obey signals.

Saving a running session is a hit-or-miss affair, especially in the Automatic session since control (token) variables may be reset on resumption. At the very least, the UnPortal timers are then reset causing new trains to be emitted immediately. Sessions need not be saved for greater variety, though, because of the random emission order of trains.

Have fun!
