Hi, I was wondering why my trains won't go directly from Bialystok to Vilnius ? I guess it's because the track has not yet been converted (red color). If yes how can I fix this so that the trains pass by Grodno ? I don't see any possible action in my report tab to convert the tracks.
Thanks

It's too late now, you should have ordered the conversion to Vilnius during the pre-start turn. Once you've decided to convert a different rail line, it's impossible to cancel that decision.

Ouch ! thanks.
Yes I remember making such a choice in the beginning of the game (not sure it was pre-turn)
Anyway, this hopefully should not be an issue for too long as I just took Minsk and will move my FSB there and the Bredt-Minsk railtrack is now nearly converted in full.

H nukkxx,
The route through Grodno is useable without it being converted.
General Gerkce will automatically route his trains down the most efficient route that gets them their quickest. In this case it's quicker to take the longer route but one that is all German rail than the shorter, direct link via Soviet gauge rail.
On page 174 of the manual (6.1.6.7 Rail) there is a table showing the different rail types and their capacities.
Cheers,
Cameron
