Problem with the game dispatching trains
Started the game today and all of a sudden the game stopped dispatching most of the trains. The counter just starts again and again running down 4 seconds.
Never happened before.
It also looks like its displaying text that doesnt belong there.
Anyone has any idea what happened here and how to fix it?

Seems like this is right after transition to 1.16, which reset all trains, so just give trains time to spawn. Trains can only spawn at a station and where the station track is not reserved by trains behind. Given your number of trains, just get it going and wait, they will eventually all spawn. In the save you shared, there is only 14 trains remaining to spawn by 4:00, only 7 by 5:07, and only 1 by 6:00.

Your bigger issue you do need to fix is collisions. The game now tracks more accurately colliding trains, and you have three areas where they collide. 1) Cable car near cable car depot/museum - tracks are too close resulting in head-on collision and blocks both lines. Make a better right turn curve so it does not get into opposite direction track. 2) BART approach to East Bay Center - the signal is too close to junction and a train standing at this signal is in the path of the opposite direction train - move the signal away from the junction. 3) Warm Springs Plaza - same, signal too close to junction - move it further away.

In terms of the dispatch counter continually restarting, I've experienced this in 3 situations (but there may be others that I've not experienced).

1) The track is currently occupied/reserved by another train
2) All of the shifts the train is able to run are currently assigned to other trains
3) All of the shifts that the train is able to run and are unassigned are in a black hole portion of the order list.

If you want to send a link to the save and flag which trains don't get assigned, I can take a look.

The problem appears to be on all lines
