I am working on a standard scenario for the Donner Pass wherein I want to pick up passengers at the Colfax Station. When I set my next go to point the timetable gives me the X and claims unknown error. However if I by pass the Colfax Station, It lets me go to my next point with out a problem. Does anyone know what would cause this problem (besides being the Donner Pass)? Are there any solutions (other than stopping there and continuing with another scenario)?

Put a marker ahead of the station and tell it to stop at the marker then reverse into the station.. IIRC that is the station where you must reverse in from the mainline

Sent the train to stop at the next maker on the map, Colfax North Track 2. The timetable will let me pick up but cannot continue as I get the unknown error.

Tired that and it did not work. I'm thinking that this one might have to go on that back burner.

Sorry I could not help. I will have to look at the route and see if I can figure something out. Email me the info on the consist you are driving so I can try to duplicate the issue.

Pleaqse tell me what go to points you are trying to use . You said you could pick them up but not go further. which ones work and which one stops you? And what is the starting point and final destination?

That bites. I did try what you where doing and mine seemed to work fine but I do not know if it was just what you where trying or not. I got the ok for picking up and heading to the end just fine using multiple different go to points and different approaches

I do not know whats going on. Now it seems that all of my destination, siding, and platform markers are invisible. On the map they are respective colors. However when I go into the World editor, and look for them on the tracks, the markers are not there. I have varified the cashe 3 times today. Twice it told me I was missing 90 files. On the third attempt I got 100%. Went back to my scenario, back into the World editor and the same, invisible markers. Right now I am at the point where I want to scrap this program.

If you are putting the markers in while you are in the scenario editor then they will not show up in the world editor. If you are going to be uploading the scenarios for others to run then you must do it in the scenario editor or they will not be there on the players copy and they will get errors of missing markers

Also, but you probably know that already, your scenario markers must not overlap the route markers.
