They're not piled up to every rail entry on the map yet. You're fine.

WAY overly complex, just way over designed.  In order to allow your trains to turn around you've given them terribly sharp turns and WAY to many intersections.  Trains go the same speed backwards as they do forwards, and make your intersections have enough length for just one train so it can wait if it needs to.

Basically you have one train holding up another who is holding up another train who is ... ad nauseum until you get to the train stalling up the first train.  Thankfully the game has a system that recognizes vehicles that are stalled/stuck and will actually despawn them to allow traffic to start up again.

I think trains need more capacity. Or to be longer. Or both. Or maybe commerce needs to use a wee bit less freight.

No matter how you build you will get backups. There's a max of 4 in/out sets of track per map no matter your pop. They will eventually fill to all edges of the map.

Actually not true, after 4 cities at over 150k pop I've only one ever had backups with trains, and that was due to flooding from a dam.

This is going to take a while. I can feel it.

Might have to bulldoze stations and redo it from scratch.

As far as I can tell, these jams go all the way to the map edge, on all three tracks.

Jesus Dicking Christ what is that mess?

Clearly, it's the train network from hell, designed by Satan himself and funded by Cthulhu.

Can't say I've ever seen such a horrible train track design before.

[da_nang]

Well the good news is I've made the stations less "stumpy". Trains can now enter all but the end stations from both directions.

Bad news is I don't know if it solved the problem.

[majikero]

I think the problem is that you have so much cargo stations.

[da_nang]

Then clearly there needs to be high-capacity railroads. I dread to think what happens if I have to offload all that heavy traffic onto the streets.

EDIT: The eastern railroad to the map edge is no longer jammed. An added T-junction near the eastern part of the city rerouted that traffic. The west is still fucked.

You people clearly don't even know the meaning of complex Cthulhu roads.

Hello, Cthulhu Pizza? I'd like to order some onramp stuffed onramp with extra bypass.

That seems like the sort of thing they gave you five levels of road for actually, to me.
