SYMPTOMS

When you press SHIFT+G to operate a switch in Microsoft Train Simulator, the switch may not move as expected.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the train is positioned either on top of or too close to the switch for the switch to be moved.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, back the train up to clear the switch, and then try moving the switch again.

MORE INFORMATION

A switching operation can be performed either in front of or behind the train. However, switching cannot be performed if the train is too close to, or directly on top of, the switch itself.
