| Note: This only applies to platforms that are connected on a single side only. Once it is set as a through station (connected at both ends) this feature will stop working for that platform. It is recommended to research the departure-sensor which will automatically reverse trains if needed. | Note: This only applies to platforms that are connected on a single side only.

| + | The Relay Sensor is the simplest and cheapest form of sensor in the game. Once built on a track and linked to a signal, a single route for the signal is selected. A train passing over the sensor will trigger the route automatically. | ||
