When I make an intersection with a train or El track (using right angles NOT gradual slopping) will the trains be able to turn on that?

At first I assumed I had to make all intersections gradual but it is killing my space and money so I started looking into it and haven't seen anything telling me not to make regular intersections. If it matters I am using NAM.

Thanks :D

I forget, can you do E-train on U-Drive?

Well the question stands, U-Driver?

Its the mode that lets you take control of the vehicles?

I realized that just as I was clicking 'post'. :P

I wasn't aware I could use an EL-Train with that. I've used it for trains and you for sure need gradual turns with them but the EL is a bit different especially with NAM on there. Obviously I prefer the EL because the stations only take up track space and nothing else, and being elevated offer you a lot more in terms of easing up traffic.

What I'm saying is that I'm not sure if you can, but if you can, that'd be a way to test it other than waiting a bit and using the traffic query.

Yeah I'm working on that but it never gives me the que to use an El Train. I'll just keep farting around with it. It's beginning to look like I can make a 90 degree angle with it though.

In short, no. Trains cannot make right angle turns.
