A blockhead can then be used to select the locomotive, causing a menu box to appear with three choices: Remove, left, and right. Selecting 'Remove' will cause the blockhead to take the train into its [[inventory]]. The other two choices will cause the blockhead to board the locomotive and start riding it in that direction. | ||
The directional buttons have text arrows (e.g. --> for right) and descriptions. The description will either be the next [[Train Station|train station]] along the rails in that direction or the word "Ride" with a direction. Which appears seems to depend on how many stations there are in that direction as well as if the station has been renamed. A single, uniquely-named station is more likely to appear on the direction button than the default "Train Station" or multiple stations. If a button with a station name is selected, the locomotive will automatically stop at that station. | The directional buttons have text arrows (e.g. --> for right) and descriptions.
