An Elevated rail is essentially a rail that elevates off the ground, which allows locomotives to travel over obstacles. To build an elevated rail, the player must first build one that ramps off the ground, then connect standard rails to the higher end of that incline. Rail supports must be also be built to sustain the foundation of keeping the rails elevated. Rail signals and rail chain signals can be placed on elevated rails, but not train stops, as those can only be placed on the ground.

Locomotives that are stopped on inclined rails will stay still and not slide back down to the ground level.
