Ah, that could be it; I'll check tonight when I get home. Do you know how
far "too far" is?

It is a rather large station (7x14) with a truck station close to the
industry some distance (12 or so tiles) from the train station. So this
sounds plausible for the cause, as I believe the sign is near the train
station instead of the truck station. I'll try reversing this, destroying
the station and rebuilding it, building the truck station first so the sign
starts close to the industry, then walking the train station the 12 or so
tiles away from that and see if that corrects the problem.

Thanks for the idea on how to fix this Josef.
