How to stop for an ai train?

[JSMR]

I've used some activities where the player has a red signal and then has to wait for an ai train to pass. How does one do this?
At the moment I'm only putting one or two ai trains into my (non-event because that seems like voodoo stuff) activities, and mostly not on the same line as me. Any more the 1 ai and they kinda get stuck at some point so I keep it simple.

But it would be cool to have to wait at a signal (double into single track) for a ai train to pass however I don't see the option to do so.

As usual, any help greatly appreciated.

I've gotten around this by placing a wait point for my train that clears no earlier than 2 minutes before the ai train arrives. It takes some trail and error to get it just right.

Ah ok. I guess I need to do some testing. Thanks. 👍

What I have done in my own activities, where I want my player train to wait for an AI train at the start is this:
Say the activity starts as 9:00am. I place my AI train to start say at 8:58am, but far enough down the line not to be seen, then place a wait point in the path say for three minutes, while it's still out of sight of the player train if possible. Therefore the AI has already captured the right of way, having stated before the player train. Therefore the player gets the red, and so has to wait for the AI to pass through.

Ok thank you.

So I placed a wait point and tried a couple times to get the timing right which I did. But I have to wait for the time period to end despite the ai train clearing. So I need to have the wait point end BEFORE the ai arrives? But no more than 2 mins or so before he arrives? I'm guessing it will switch to me having right of way?

That is correct.
