+A short train can now travel using each block. \\
+A long train can travel from the upper straight line to the right arch and to the bottom straight line. The left arch is then too short for a long train. To continue via the left arch to the upper straight line a manual route ist defined using a "via block" configuration. This documentation describes how to define this in Rocrail. \\
 The colored tracks represent the sensors. The block lengths were calculated from the length between the sensors plus the length of the "enter" sensor (but without the "in" sensor). \\
 ===== Rocrail: Plan =====
-The Rocrail blocks are shown in the first picture. They are arranged in a clockwise direction; the train always moves from the plus side into a block. This is not mandatory, but should be dealt with in this way in this documentation. \\
