1: is the starting sleeper for this example
2: is the next sleeper along where you would expect it to be
3: is the halfway point along the next set of rails

it can be seen that the next sleeper after 2 should be halfway between 3 and 4 but is in fact at 4 meaning the rails are either one and half times as long a standard rail or there is a full section and a half section, my feeling is a half section with the break at 3.
