A '''Rail''' is used for building a [[railway]] track for [[locomotive|trains]]. Unlike [[transport belt]]s, rail tracks can also be curved and placed diagonally. [[Train stop]]s, [[rail signal]]s and [[rail chain signal]]s can be placed on rails to better guide automated trains. [[Gate]]s can also be placed on rails, making them rail gates. There are also [[elevated rail]]s, which are rails with added height, so that trains can freely pass over obstacles.

A '''Rail support''' can be placed under elevated [[rail]]s, acting as its foundation. When the player is planning out elevated rails, the game will automatically spawn rail supports, to support the higher rail's foundation. Supports act as a blocking obstacle, but can be removed at any time.
The minimum rail turning radius is 12, meaning the smallest possible 180° turn is 24 [[Map_structure#Tile|tile]]s wide.
 
The [[rail planner]] can be used to automatically place rails. See the page for more info.

A Rail support can be placed under elevated rails, acting as its foundation. When the player is planning out elevated rails, the game will automatically spawn rail supports, to support the higher rail's foundation. Supports act as a blocking obstacle, but can be removed at any time.
