Hi there!
In the situation where a train detaches a non-power units and it's locomotive continues to move through switches to $static/closeup #dispose position, after then the loco stops at the end of its path, the track sections that the loco has already passed are staying "occupied" by it (dispatcher HUD F5). Thus, other trains can't use these common track sections and remain blocked on station lines.
If I define that this train (locomotive) forms into a new train, the track sections are cleared.

Here is it:
Train 140 arriving at final location and detaching the non-power units.

After the action the train moving to dispose position. The command is $static/closeup

Train 95 can not to depart because the track section ahead is "occupied" by train 140

Hi Oleg! You say that splitting the train to form a new train clears the track sections. This is the right thing to do!
I think you have what I call a "stuck train". I have tried to give some guidance here
http://www.elvastowe...es/page__st__30
Looking at the F5 HUD you provided, I think you have several trains sharing path sections, and it would be desirable to reduce these by splitting trains or using path control commands like $hold $noclaim $wait
For example train 95 is sharing path sections with trains 140 and 93 . OR isn`t reporting a path deadlock, but sometimes several trains with common path sections does cause trouble, giving a stuck train.
$static/closeup
Maybe just a typo, but usually I find commands and qualifiers need a white space $static /closeup
