I don't know if this is a bug or my being rubbish at solving the puzzle, but I'm having a problem in the underground rail car thing in Selenic. This puzzle was the one that had me stumped the longest the first time I played, and it's giving me even more trouble now. It's one of the very few puzzles in all the Myst games that I don't remember the solution for, and I want to solve it if I can, but I'm becoming increasingly certain that it's impossible for me to do so, and must be a bug.
This is happening: I'm in the car, and simply don't have anywhere I can go. I've mapped out my possible choices, and as you can see, there aren't many.

If you know how to solve the puzzle, that should make sense. Unless I'm getting it totally wrong. I'm positive that the map is correct. So my question to those of you who know the solution to this maze is, am I missing some vital element of solving the puzzle, or is it broken?
I had the exact same problem. I gave up and reloaded an old save file and had to play the Mchanical Age and the rest of the Selenical Age again, which is pretty fast if you remember the codes. Only the piano-part was annoying. Upon retry I made it through the tunnels immediately.
This obviously a bug. Another bug I found was that in the Stonesip Age if you click on the big compass and then next to it it sometimes goes black and the game crashed. Only sound still works.
Greta game anyway.
