-If a train needs to travel from Block "BK 1" to Block "BK 4", without stopping in Block "BK 2" or Block "BK 3", then you can create a Route "BK 1-" to "BK 4+", with an entry in "Crossing Blocks" of "BK 2,BK 3".

 ==== Via block signals ====
 Set the via block signals accordantly to the from block signals.\\
-This option is only of use if the via blocks have the same +/- orientation as the from block. In all other cases the crossing block signals should be added as commands in the route, which is also generally recommended instead of using this option.\\
