History: Cross Tracks

 Cross Tracks are special rail pieces introduced in the [[Trains Urban Update|Urban Update]]. They allow trains to pass over the same block space in two different directions, either aligned to the block grid or placed diagonally. [[Embedded Cross Tracks|Embedded Cross Tracks]] are a variant designed for roads, plazas, and tramways, using materials that blend naturally into urban surfaces.

  

 ## Functionality

 Cross Tracks allow two rail lines to intersect without switches, letting trains continue straight through based on their direction of travel. However, if two trains attempt to cross the intersection at the same time, they will crash.

  

 ## Interaction

 Players place both Cross Tracks and [[Embedded Cross Tracks|Embedded Cross Tracks]] like standard rails. Trains navigate them automatically, requiring no extra controls. Care must be taken with timing or [[Signal Boxes|signalling]] to avoid intersection collisions.
