              Further Information

              Maintenance Track (0°)687474703a2f2f696d6775722e636f6d2f4a4f35685350762e706e67

              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 Track (0° to 0°/11°)

              Different types of track beds influence the behavior of Switch Tracks; If Wooden Track Beds are applied, the switch can be activated manually, while Concrete Track Beds make the switch react to Redstone states. To move a switch by Redstone state, apply the pulse to the origin (=source track) of the switch (see image on the right). Applying a redstone pulse to the switch changes the path it is set to.
