 Further Information 
 Maintenance Track (0°) 
 The Maintenance Track requires Stilts instead of Track Beds for construction. This track is 1 metre (= 1 block) above ground level and can be used to view a vehicle from below. Maintenance Tracks are also an essential part of the process of train creation. Right-clicking the Maintenance Track with a crowbar hides its stilt. 
 Switch Tracks 
 To move a switch by Redstone state, remove the switching lever with the crowbar (rightclick) and apply the pulse to the origin (=source of the track) of the switch (see image on the right). Applying a Redstone pulse to the switch changes the path it is set to. 
 To move the 3-way switch by Redstone state, place a Redstone source on the left to set the switch to go left or place a Redstone source on the right to set the switch to go right. Only one side can be powered at a time - if both are powered the switch will revert to going straight.
