-Penalties are used by YAPF (Yet Another PathFinder) to determine which route a train should take between its current position and its destination. Penalties can be pretty much everything; the amount of trains driving the same route, a road crossing, a red two-way signal, a slope, a short curve... It's worth noting that trains ignore penalties if they don't have orders. The reason for this is pretty simple; if trains don't have a destination there is no reason to determine the cost of the route. For you this means that you should always give trains an order, even if the order is to go to a dummy station and can't actually be reached. This may be relevant for dummy trains or trains on timers.Below is a list of the penalties and their respective values used in r17814.

-This setting is always on in our games. eol stands for end-of-line, this means that a red [[two-way]] is actually an infinite penalty, a train will do pretty much everything to avoid running into a red two-way. This goes for regular two-way signals and pre-signals, two-way pbs are a different case we'll talk about later. To see the power of a red two-way have a look at the image below:

 You should be careful not to force trains to take a huge loop by accident, though it's unlikely you'll manage to do so.
