I don't know what I can do about that. When it reverses, it should reserve a new path out of the block. Maybe if that fails I should pull the emergency brakes and ground the train and lock the signal block, but that could get annoying very quickly... -- Josef Drexler | http://publish.uwo.ca/~jdrexler/ ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
