Highway with dual trainlines

Description
A simple elevated stretch of highway with dual traintracks in between. You can connect several of them together, or simply use them as a placeholder to help you draw longer stretches of train lines and highway. The traintracks are elevated enough above the highway so it's easy connect other trainlines or stations to them (check screenshot).

Cost: 6120
Upkeep: 73

This is part of a collection of highway modules with traintracks. All of them are made to easily connect. http://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=418280186

*NOTE* If you have trouble connecting several of these despite the blue color indicating that they line up, you simply have to rotate them 180 degrees (right click with your mouse).

I have updated the asset with in-game icon and tooltip. http://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=524264252

1. There is some issues with creating rail offramps to connect to a train station.
2. The best solution to this is a temporary dip underground - Train Stations comply well with it.

I am still learning the path of using rail between highways. I modified Silver Fields Redux map by destroying all roads and rails and replacing them with this. My main issue is knowing where to put the stations and everything, proper use of internal-external systems and separate lines for persons and cargo.

Yeah man, these might be nice than you know.. lol.

The spacing is perfect to allow for left hand exits to slip down between the tracks and other side highway, let me show you. If you look at some of my last screenshots you will see what I'm talking about. If done right, it greatly reduces your need for interchanges and makes traffic flow unbelievably. Pretty much going to promote this set of intersections whenever there's an opportunity to.

Thanks for all the positive comments :) Someone asked me how to make traintracks in the asset editor, so I might as well post it here too. If you download the mod called No pillars (http://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=409073164) , they become available so you can make your own.

One of the more useful sets of intersections on the workshop, tyvm.
