Railway tracks

Compare track speed limits and electrification. Electric trains require a compatible electrified route.

From start

Layouts and variants

Option	Availability	Function	Values and options
Simple Tracks	From start	Simple tracks with reduced pollution, at the cost of only supporting slow speeds.	Construction $60,000/km Annual maintenance $10,000/km/year Speed limit 100 km/h Lane layout 4 m, forward Track spacing 5 m Maximum build slope 0.085 Minimum build curve radius 55 m Transport modes Train, Tram track
Simple Tracks With Catenary	1921 – onwards	Simple tracks with reduced pollution, at the cost of only supporting slow speeds. The catenary enables the use of electric trains.
