What are Track Priority Markers?
In Summary: | |
Track priority markers are purple coloured track markers that are invisible in Driver Mode but visible in Surveyor Mode. They are used to direct specific trains through the track section where they are placed | |
Track priority markers are NOT a substitute for Driver Commands or Interlocking Towers |

Assigning Priority Levels to Trains
Each locomotive can be assigned a priority level of 1, 2 or 3. Priority 2 is the default level. Again, these values have no set meaning beyond what you decide they will mean.
For example you could assign priority 1 to express trains and 3 to slow general freight stopping trains.
