Steve,
Thank you for clarifying the process for intermediate signals. ?I created a two block section and it works.
Andy,
If you create a KL (section signal 81)?and a NO section (signal 121) ?you will see the expected behavior. ?For this to work, you will need to disable the LogixNGs and remove and build new SML. ?

Hi
The section between two home signals should contain 2 blocks, with the distant protecting the second block.
When a train passes the distant it sets the signal to stop, but the auto train will ignore this, as it's expected, and your signal should have a horizontal aspect, painted in a tasteful yellow.
If the train does stop, then you have no stopping sensors, or no speed profile, or no block and train lengths, or the the train doesn't fit in the 2nd block, else it will stop before the home signal at according to the chosen method.
As the two blocks are a single Section, there is no way, small children and pets excepted, that the distant can show "stop", the worst is, in canadian parlance "clear/medium to stop" (yellow with a D plate)
Auto generated sections do not understand distant signals.
I? am unclear whether the auto engineer should start to slow as soon as it sees the distant or only after passing. Dispatcher always uses the former.?
