The train track crossbars worked like a charm, know could you tell me how to make the train tracks switch, when the stop to get something or switvh tracks.

): have a bad day

Im glad you had success with my crossbars method!!! I could tell you how to switch tracks,change stop go signals etc. But i dont like 2 trains loaded with passengers slamming head on with each other so sorry dude but some things are better left unsaid!!

yea, nobody wants to be responisble for instruction someone how to derail a train.

I'm glad someone has a little common sense. I have a little experience in the rail industry and have seen a few accidents. The one thing kids should learn early on, is that trains are not to be messed with. It's a matter of physics. A train with a speed of 100kph will require approximately seven miles to stop completely with full brakes. That's unloaded. A boxcar can carry approximately five tons of cargo. Add inertia to the velocity, and that increases the distance to come to a stop. A train doesn't have the luxury of manuvering and switching tracks can only be done at low speeds or the train jumps. If the train is carrying passengers, you can write them off. If the train happens to be carrying anything chemical or volatile, you just earned yourself a major disaster requiring NTSB investigation and major resources pulled together from overstretched safety departments of various rail companies. Look what happened in Baltimore. Anyone caught messing with tracks, switches, or the automation that runs them should be lined up against a wall and shot. The safety departments of the various rail companies are underfunded and undermanned. That's partially the fault of the companies, but also because people don't realize the dangers of the systems that are involved in rail transportation. Leave the rail system alone. Mess with things that aren't likely to affect an entire community. Train wrecks may look cool on TV, but not when you have to pull train cars apart to find people trapped or wear a MOPP suit because one of the cars happened to be carrying something lethal or toxic. Anyone who's ever done any kind of accident recovery work will agree with me.

Uh, I never was going to de-rail a train. I live in rural Iowa, there are absolutely no passenger trains, just freight. I just want to switch the rails, for the unlawful carnal knowledge of it. I will switch them back! If I felt like I wanted to de-rail a train, I would take a block of iron or steel weighing several hundred pounds and weld it onto the track. With about 12 or so possible inches of welding surfaces, with 60,000 PSI welding rods, I could easily de-rail it welding with my portable welder---BUT I DON'T WANT TO. Or I would just take out the damn rail-easy enough. Sooner or later, I will probablly learn how to switch the rails by trial and error-I just want to know how to put them back so i DONT derail a train. I would hate to switch them adn then not be able to get them back. Oh, the rail switchers here are just the type that send the freight train on an alternate path for a couple hundred yards so they can stop and unload grain, not a way of going onto another pathway.

Im glad people agree with my reason not to publish the information requested.I didnt mind telling you how to keep the crossbars down because doing so would only keep a few cars from crossing the line.
Even though you will not derail trains or cause head-on collisions with information i give you dont forget the post can be read by millions of people who might think its a fucking great idea to kill 300 or 400 people.

So like i said sorry dude but if you work it out for yourself like i did well and good but im not going to openly post it...
