This was and is a problem in real cities.  The solution is to either elavate
the railway (or monorail) or go underground.  Since I like to see my trains I
would go with the elevated option.  See  Matt's LEGO® Train Depot at
<http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/train_depot/> for principles on
elevating track.


You might want to start with the track at a fixed hight (10-12 bricks high)
above the streets, and running a loop.  I have to say that the monorail is
probably easier to do this with than the train...The train is a bit clunky to
raise up high (esp at 12 bricks/piller + curved bridges...)

I also have a freight station(4555) so that might make it a little bit harder
since I want the train to run thru there.
Now, if only I had a picture to show you. Maybe if I can find a camera, scan
it, email it to anybody who wants to see it. Big IF's

(...) Modify your train station so that it has a platform at the level of the elevated track. This is a common site at innercity train stations. - Jim --- (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

I've got like 15 or so pictures left to take Anybody know what other pictures I could take? (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-99, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
