This video explaines a part of the functional design of the automated lego train coal terminal.

In this video the following topics are handled:
- layout
- passenger trains
- coal loading procedure
The layout has two parts: one for the passenger trains and one for the coal trains. On crossings of these two loops, an autonomous controller stops a coal train before the crossing if it's occupied by a passenger train.
The passenger trains stop at two stations, one of these stations has two tracks and the passenger trains always switch tracks here. That way, there are three passenger trains on a rotational basis.
The load procedure can be executed at two silos which both have a dedicated controller which is connected to the main controller. An empty coal train starts at the coal train yard, runs through the unload terminal to the silo. From here, the controller of the silo takes over. It loads the coal wagons one by one. Before loading, the silo drives a pin through the coal just above the hatch to prevent clogging. After loading, the silo signals to the main controller that the train is ready to leave. Once the track is clear, the main controller orders the controller of the silo to send away the train. A bit later it arrives at the coal train yard where it's parked.

The AlmightyArjen Youtube channel is about Lego train related videos. I sometimes automate Lego trains, or make a stop motion video or I just setup a huge Lego train layout in the living room. Do you have (reasonable) video suggestions? Please let me know!
