I have written an activity running the length from Gilbert to Hibbing and it runs fine. Other shorter activities stop before the end with activity completed message, but no reason given. One activity is from Gilbert to Virginia, which stops just beyond Eveleth about 0.25 miles before Gravel Pit Siding and the other is from Virginia to Buhl, which stops just beyond Mt. Iron Stn, on the line beside the other two railroad tracks about 1.9 miles short of Center Siding. Another activity from Gravel Pit Siding to Virginia runs fine.Any ideas ?Eric in UK

Hi,I noticed one strange thing and that is that the station(siding) markers in Eveleth lay across a switch.
I have read somewhere that including switches between the markers can cause trouble. I cannot recall where I read it. I noticed this when I tried to create an Activity, but didn't get the Unload/Load message in F10. Even if I stopped at zero distance, no Unload/Load.See the warning of Mivone in this thread:
