I used an exacto saw to remove the metal contact 'nib' from the joint. I put
a red 1x2 tile on that piece so I don't lose it (in all my other track). I
learned the hard way - trying to find a piece of track among a huge pile!

I sawed off the joint pins entrirely. IMHO, Lego purity does not preclude
REMOVING parts of Lego elements, just employing non-Lego elements. This is,
though, an ethic of convenience as I am fond of sawing things.
