-The most use of this setting is found in our [[SRNW]] games, we control trains to either take an exit to the sideline or stay on the mainline. We also combine this signal with a certain station or shortcut to create pathfinder traps. Pathfinder traps give us options to trick trains, we can decrease the pathfinder penalties to an actual station and so create more balanced traffic or we can balance mainline mergers. There are occasions where the inner lane is preferred so much we will create a shortcut from each lane to the inner lane after a merger. We disable an exit with the pathfinder trap so the trains will not actually take this path and a merger gives us a balanced output.
