Switch Rail

Switch Rail

Switch Rail is a junction. It sends cars down one of two paths, and flips to the other one every time it gets a signal pulse.

A lit arrow on the block shows which way it is currently pointing.

Flipping the junction

The rail changes path every time it receives a signal pulse. Give it a signal key with the Coaster Wrench, then drive that key from a Control Panel or a Track Sensor.

New to keys? Start with Redstone Signals.

Fitting it to existing track

Place it against track you already built and it smooths the connecting rails on both sides for you. Both exits can bend to different angles, so a branch does not have to leave at a right angle.

On Pro Rails

There is no Switch Rail on a Pro Rails track. You make a switch directly with the wrench on a Coaster Anchor, which takes a signal key the same way.
