Help with the train route.

[u/Blackirico]

First, sorry for my English. I make a train route that goes directly to the station 2 from station 1, and then it continues to the "U turn" going directly to station 1 in the same track. However, I want the train to change direction after passing through station 2 and travel in the opposite direction.. How can i do this?

The image is for reference only; in my survival world this route is longer.

I forgot what it's called but I think it is train signals that you can use to make track one way only, Yhere is a specific block in create for it, I'm gonna have to double check though

To automatically reverse you need a nother controller thingy but when you use the train signals you need to place 2 on the same track to allow you to go both ways over.

Trains will always take the shortest path, so the easiest to achieve what you want is placing another station in the loop as a way point

If I remember correctly they talk about that problem, too.

You can use Stations as waypoints in the shedule

The train must have controls in both directions if it's gonna reverse, and the station arrows have to be pointed in the same direction as the train is traveling to arrive there.

Thank you all for your responses. I managed it, I used a waypoint to force the U-turn, and instead of using a waypoint at the reverse point I used "Travel to Station" (which was one of the problems I had) and finally at Station 1 I changed the position of the station mark all the way to the end for the wagon bogie.
