Somethign seems a bit odd here...
Title:  Somethign seems a bit odd here...
Description:  When a train from the Wilder branch hits the main, it triggers the signals on the main (including this crossing). However, since this crossing doesn't protect the Wilder Branch track, it times out and goes back up, which is what is happening here.
