Cargo Train Terminal doesn't spawn trains / trains don't move to it

[Teldaril]

I have encountered a problem with cargo trains. Currently i am building my first very huge city with the 81 tiles mod. I have build internal train lines which are separated by the external lines. Everything works well with the 2 cargo hubs and 7 cargo train terminals i have build. There are no jams, everything runs smooth.

Now i have extended the network with 2 additional cargo train terminals. One spawns trains but no train moves to it and the second doesn't spawn them and no train moves to it.

In this picture there is a working cargo train terminal and a working cargo hub (black cycles) and the cargo train terminal which doesn't work at all (red cycle). All are directly connected and additional with the internal cargo lines.

In this picture is the terminal from the red cycle. Trucks enter it and deliver their goods (and leave it by spawning on the street behind the terminal). But no train spawns.

The second terminal that doesn't work is located in a commercial zone. It sometimes spawns trains with little freight but no train is moving to it.

I have no traffic mod.

Where is the problem? Is it the 81 tiles mod? Currently i have unlocked 13 tiles and all tracks and terminals are in the 25 tiles range. Or is there another problem? Is this a bug? Are there too many trains? I have a lot of passenger and freight trains, but there are no traffic problems.

I have added another cargo train terminal (black cycle) in between the working and not working one (red cycle) to check if something changes.

This one works perfectly fine. I have also added one in between the commercial zone terminal and this works perfectly fine, too.

Ok, now it is messing with me. Yesterday i tried to remove the bypass from the terminal and it didn't work. Today with the additional terminals in between i removed the bypass again and BÄM it works. I removed the additional cargo train terminals and build the bypass again and it is still working. Some problem with the traffic AI not finding a path or something?

There might have been a break in a train track somewhere. I've had some weird interactions, especially at the points where tracks merge/split. Your tweaking probably fixed the break.

I had a similar problem, trains were only leaving the cargo terminal, but no freighttrain was importing stuff. I reconstructed most of the railway to the borderzone and tada, importing cargotrains were are back.

But i have no idea, was caused this. Was the whole session on the other side of my town to create a new resistence/office mix.

Looks like rebuilding parts of the railroad might help with such an issue. Good to know for the future.

I have seen this happen. Tracks connected, but no rails. Trains don't like that.

I've seen those and trains passed through them. But I still always fix them because it just looks wrong.

It's been awhile for me (that was an old screenshot), but I was pretty sure that trains did not pass through it for me. (I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.)

I fix this as soon as i see this happen. In my case there were only two railroad junctions which i rebuild to make it work again. But they both were connected correctly before, too. You can see this in the close-up of the cargo train terminal and its bypass. The only other thing i changed on this particular railroad was the additional cargo train terminal in the third screenshot. Perhaps there was an error although it looked as if it was right.

It didn't happen again since then.
