Game keeps complaining. Can't change switch manually

[DimPoint]

The game complains can't change switch manually while in explorer mode. But when I try to do switch via auto "G" key, it says something along the lines, this switch is locked, can only change switch manually.

This will happen when a path has been set by an AI train that is close to you.

This also can happen, if you are in Auto mode while running an activity. Press <ctrl> <m> to go into manual mode then you will be able to change the switch. To return to Auto auto press <ctrl> <m> again and the AI will resume auto switching.

I am not in auto mode.

Please attach a log file so we can see what you are doing.

Curious, if the switches on the route are "automatic switches" or "manual switches" .

I know some older routes, people loves to lay down automatic switches which causes this problem... Then again I could be thinking of something completely different...
