Train pathing problem.

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my design, the train refuses to find a correct path, the desired destination is the station (Main_Iron_02) on the middle track, the path is clean and can be run manually with no problems. Any suggestions?
Note: the station on the right (Main_Iron_01) works just fine, the trains have no issue with it.

Is it possible that you have changed the tracks after placing the stop? It looks to me as if the train stop is too far forward, so it doesn't properly attach to the tracks. This could happen if you had a straight track, then removed it and put down the curved track.

Normally when you hover over a train station the corresponding train track is highlighted too.
Example: Image

This is not the case in your second picture, as you probably removed the straight rail next to the station and replaced it with curved rail, so the station is actually not connected to the tracks.
Solution: Put the station 1 tile further north or make the train tracks longer, so that a piece of straight rail is next to the station.

Thank you for the quick reply, I will check the station / track position. Weird thing is that I "blueprinted" the station from the right, and that one is working just fine.

Edit: OK, you guys were right the station didn't hook correctly to the rails (the curved rail was the problem), when I removed the station I was not able to manually place it again. All the trains are so happy now. :D
