<p>Added research topic</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In several GRFs it happens that several locs are limited to a certain kind of cargo, and that the fastest trains are pax-only. So if we wanted to have those trains coexist on the same network, then we should make sure the fast trains can follow their way without experiencing much hindrance from other trains. <br /> <br /> To obtain that, a mainline would be at least 2 wide in one direction, and lane to the left would be reserved for faster traffic. Since speed can not be measured absolutely, a system like this would only work when there is a difference in speed. Trains will therefore use one track while unhindred, and only when encountering a slower train will they decide to switch lanes. <br /> <br /> Prototypes have been built, images and savegames coming</div>
