Samoa Lumber Mill 1 & 2 Unreachable

[wmuzeke]

I've been working on an activity for the North Coast Railroad V3.2 and discovered that I cannot reach the Samoa Lumber Mill 1 or 2 tracks and the operable portion seems to end near the lead switch. In the first screenshot Ctrl-Alt-F11 shows the End of Line near the centerbeam car and I can't go any further. This is shown in Manual Mode. Track Viewer won't allow the path to be drawn onto these tracks, either. I can place static consists on the tracks; just not operate on them. Is there a way to fix this?

I just tried to draw a path into the Lumber Mill 1 with TrackViewer and I have the same issue - path stops just after the switch into 1 or 2 sidings. May be a problem with the route track layout? Sorry, I can't help though.

I would suggest going into TSRE and seeing if there are any blue poles in that area. A blue pole indicates a track end is unconnected.

That's the problem, there's a blue pole. See if this fixes it. USA_NCR.zip

In either case, I see the same thing. Is the blue pole (41629) what is to deleted?

There's two different blue poles in almost exactly the same spot.

I tried the fix, but the problem remains.
Now I have to ask "How does one delete one of those blue poles?" - if "delete" is the right word.

Thanks. This fix actually worked for me. I wonder if an official patch could be added to the route?

Worked for me, too, once I did it properly. Thanks.
