Thanks for that link, that had lots of information as well.  I do have one
more question, where is the on/off/direction switch for the monorail motor?

The 9V battery box has an on/off switch.  The box is connected to the motor.
The motor has a black lever that can be in a total of 3 positions: forward,
stop, and reverse.  The lever slides between those positions, and can be
controlled by the "control track" pieces (or by hand if you choose).

The lever is black, with beveled (pointy) ends, and slides from side to
side.  The two ends stick out from the sides of the motor right near the
bottom-within a brick or so of the track surface, such that the actuators on
the half-straight reverser tracks can hit them.

The battery box puts out power with constant polarity.  The motor has a
single power connection, and its lever reverses the polarity to make it go
either direction.  If two monorails are on the track with their battery
connections reversed, they will have opposite reactions to the reverser tracks.
