1.0 Mainline
This section belongs to Mainline related tips and tricks.
1.1 Signal every 2nd tile
The purpose is clear; Mainlines are designed for high throughput!
1.2 Avoid Mainline Tunneling
In order to keep the signal blocks at 2 tiles (as mentioned in 1.1) you should try to avoid tunneling the Mainline by default. Bridge the Sideline instead! 2-tile-signaling on a mainline is useless if there is one single point with a 6-tile signal gap.
1.3 Anti-Roadcross-Trackpart
Sometimes, its necessary not to let a town cross your tracks - one reason may be that you need some space later on. Basically, there are two possiblities: buy up land or build a construction as shown on the screenshot. The last option is more elegant and doesn't add ugly signs to the landscape.
1.3 Full-Speed Bend
Remember: S-bends are full-speed! Its just right to make bends on the Mainline, as long as there are no slowdowns. Some small bends ease up construction and may save costs.
