No movement this time

Cars stayed at Felton on sidings that will only hold one car
I’ll try to make a train to go get the RFC
No cars found again as expected
I put Felton on the edit train list
No cars found again
Add a day & Recalc
No cars found …
For me they will never be found because they are at locations not sidings that I can get to.
I need help can someone please give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong!
BTW if it will help I saved and renamed the DB file.
