OpenTTD: How do I allow for multiple trains on a track?

Question

I have a train track loop on a map with two trains on it. Orders for both trains are identical, and they move clockwise around the loop:

station A -> waypoint A -> station B -> waypoint B -> ...

However one of the two trains is always parked at the depot. When the currently active train enters the depot for maintenance the other takes off.

What changes do I need to make such that I can have more than one train operating on the loop simultaneously?

Answer

You need to add signals. Depots have built in signals, but stations and waypoints do not.
