ah yes, the miracle of train reproduction, where the train splits into two in order to make two smaller ones,

(what’s actually happening here is the signaller is manually turning 1L32 around by inserting it into the left berth, known as “interposing”, and then manually deleting the old one from the right one)

@eta Why are there two berths there? For splitting and merging?

I was under the impression that in such two-berth segments you don't need to care which berth the singular traincode is in -- as long as the other one is empty, we any motion will move the code from the nonempty one. Am I totally wrong, or does that depend on which signaling equipment are we talking about precisely?

@robryk that, but also to indicate direction; I’m unsure, but I don’t think you’re correct and I suspect the train describer would get confused and generate a **** description if you tried to depart in the other direction without changing the berths around; do you have a source for why you think it’d just use any berth?

@eta Only a vague recollection from simsig.

@eta I've tried reproducing, but the layouts I've seen that actually have double-berth platforms are too complicated for me without automatic code insertion, and ACI might be doing all sorts of abnormal magic.
