  • without branches: the corresponding track name (e.g. KH_ST_0)

Trains

  • there are a total of 11 trains on the track, all numbered consecutively from KH_ST down to OC_ST (e.g. from train0_0 and train0_1 on KH_ST_1 to train10_0 and train10_1 on OC_ST_1)
  • head of the train: train, number and underscore 0 (e.g. train0_0)
