Could you please check (or upload) the relevant activity file (C:\Games\openrails_SOB\ROUTES\SOB\ACTIVITIES\2423.act)?
It looks like this file has been edited 'manually', and an error has been made in this file with two services being allocated the same Uid.

Below is an example of the 'traffic' part of an activity file, and the UiD must be unique for each service.
