Came across an odd variation of this old problem this morning. Working fairly close to a tile edge I laid down a 50m straight section and then a 500m straight section, followed by a curve that spans across the edge of 3 tiles. I needed to adjust the grade slightly and went back to click on the 500m section, and was greeted with the “Adjacent Track Sections not loaded” error. There are no ghost sections or orphaned blue poles. I selected the next piece and then came back to the error piece and could select it.

I then deleted all the track back to the previous tile, saved and backed up, verified in the world file there were no track sections on the tile. I then relaid with the exact same combination of track pieces. Same error on the same track piece at this location but can get past it by selecting the adjacent piece and re-selecting it.

There are no broken lines or blue poles and I can run a train over it without issue. I have laid about another mile of track since then with no issue.

Should I worry about this or just move on? It doesn’t seem to be causing any issues and I don’t anticipate having to move this section.]]> MSTS Route Projects and Questions RCSD505 https://trainsim.com/forums/forum/microsoft-train-simulator/msts-route-projects-and-questions/2346483-variation-of-the-dreaded-unable-to-load-adjacent-track https://trainsim.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/other-simulations/2346478-running-train Tue, 12 May 2026 10:29:20 GMT Looks promising, already better looking than TSW on the same game engine.

" I deleted the .tdb and the .rdb and spent 3 days installing the roads and tracks back in and still the same.
But for some reason if i delete the activity folder that is empty it works , i can make all the paths then add the activity folder to make the activities.
Any ideas why

The WAR.gov/UFO site is basically a place where the government shares what it knows about strange things seen in the sky, in the water, or in space. It includes reports, photos, and videos that have been checked and cleared for the public. Overall, it’s meant to give regular folks a clearer look at what the government is studying and what it still doesn’t fully understand.

Since I’m an engineer by education, I try not to jump to conclusions about whether extraterrestrials are real or not. When it comes to the strange technology people talk about, my first guess is that it’s our own work hidden under deep government secrecy. I usually rely on what Secretary Pete Hegseth said when a reporter asked him if aliens exist: “I will neither confirm nor deny that statement.” That answer says a lot without saying anything. And honestly, a part of me hopes I’m wrong, because it would be incredible to learn we’re not alone.
