I had an idea for a rail switcher that could lead away from the main lines without the need to stop or build a mini station. It needs a bit of cleaning up, but here is the basic idea. It is set up on an XOR switch to allow for both sides to be used for travel:

Riding one way, the block furthest away is lit to show where you will be going.



Hit the switch near you and the block closest to you lights up to let you know you will be turning.



And a here is an example implementation. The switches would need to be a bit further out and there would be some sort of signage to say where you are going, but this was more for illustration purposes.



I have cleaned out the one I implemented, but the working blueprints are still available for view in the museum district. Any yays, nays, or ideas for improvement would be thoughtfully considered before being thrown out.
