 +This wiki post originated from a request for a solution with Rocrail. \\ \\ 
 +** The facts: ** Simplified, there is an oval with two opposite trains and a siding. \\

 +Current sensors are installed as sensors and only the locomotives are recognized by the sensors. The wagons do not consume electricity and are therefore not recognized by the sensors. The siding forms the terminal station for this solution. \\ 
 +Nothing should be changed in these circumstances! \\

 Rocrail offers the possibility to use a sensor for the event "SHORTIN" in addition to the events for "enter" and "in". This "shortin" sensor takes over the function of the "in" sensor, if this has been configured accordingly in the properties of the locomotive: \\ Rocrail offers the possibility to use a sensor for the event "SHORTIN" in addition to the events for "enter" and "in".
