I had great difficulty in understanding the instructions at the start of the activity.
I started by picking up just the loggers as the description was "Logger 1" and "Logger 2" and then tried to switch to the 3rd track on which the AI train had passed down to pick up its cars but couldn't change the switches.
Eventually I guessed that one had to pick up all the cars behind you and then all except the last logger and loco on the adjacent track. The AI train had very quickly got onto this track!
At last I then got a message to proceed.
As the tracks are not named in this area and using train names Logger 1, 2 and Freight 1 was meaningless to me, I suggest you list all the car numbers that are to be picked up, not just the first one in each sequence.

After overcoming the difference in railroad English as spoken in different parts of the world, I ran this one just fine. No problems.
