What are Track Priority Markers?
In Summary: | |
'Track priority markers are purple coloured track marker 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 with trackmarks or for Interlocking Towers | |
Track priority markers will be IGNORED if there is no alternative path for a redirected train |
Adding a Track Priority Marker

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 meanings 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.
