Your help is greatly appreciated. :)
How do I tell which AI Traffic is the one to edit? Are they placed in order in the Activity file or some other file? Will they appear in order when I go into the Activity Editor. I would like to do one at a time and see if it is working when and where it should. :D
Thank you for further clarification.
Don I see we joined Elvas near the same time. When I joined my experience with MSTS and OR was nil (still close to nil when compared with most in this vicinity). So I don't know what experience level you are at.
Before you do anything you should back up the activity. Easiest way is to back up the following folders for the Bala Sub (this is a wholesale back up - there are more detailed ways to do it) ACTIVITIES, PATHS, SERVICES, TRAFFIC and the CONSIST folder in the TRAINS folder (in case you edit a consist and want the original back) .
Read and go through this activity tutorial at Steam4me ---

As Rob stated you have to know the name of the player and traffic services, and the paths associated with those services. One way is to use RouteRiter which will give you all this information when using the "check selected activity" function under the Activities/Stock tab. This will give the name of the service, its consist, and the path it uses.
I have found the "activity playback" function of the AE to be of service. To use it select tools (top left corner of AE window next to help) click on verify starting state and then go to the bottom of the window and press the play button. You can speed up the play rate by using a multiplier in the time acceleration window. Watch the Player and AI trains you are interested in, also watch the signals clear after trains pass. More experienced folks than myself discount this method, but it is useful to get an overall view of what is going on. I know from my limited experience that it does show what can happen in Open Rails -- I have seen it work. It's certainly not surefire but it is a tool to consider.
I'll post when I receive the route, if you are still wrestling with the problem.
If I have muddied the waters, my apologies.
