Make sure to connect belts to both the top and bottom part of the freight platform input or output to maximize loading and unloading speeds. Block Signals control the flow of trains to prevent crashes and derailments by splitting the track into blocks. Only one train can be in a block at a time. These are the signals you will use a majority of the time when you start having multiple trains using the same track. Path Signals are similar to Block Signals, but are use for crosses that don't merge together (like and X crossing) while Block Signals are used on straight, splitting, and merging tracks. Path Signal intersections should be placed before a crossing for each track and should have a Block Signal after the crossing. Most worlds I have seen don't use Path Signals very often or at all as you can make a train roundabout using Bock Signals. When you're in the train approaching a spilt you do not need to exit the train to choose the path you want to travel on. A and D let you switch from the train. I actually forgot about that small issue with the curves happens after every so many foundations. If I recall my work around was placing a half foundation on top of the last half of the full foundation, deleting the full one, placing a half under the first one you placed, and then placing the blueprint nudging it by 4.
Yes... this!!! When a train pulls into the station, the load/unload animation actually stops any inflow/outflow between the station and connected belts. So to avoid gaps in your feeds to factories, you want to unload the freight platform into a double container (using BOTH outputs) so that the contained becomes your buffer, and not the station. Same for loading... Connect a double-container buffer to your supplying factory, then connect BOTH outputs to the freight station inputs.
