The half cloverleaf is, as its name suggests, half of a cloverleaf. Trains have to do some looping.

[edit] Pros

  • Can handle a large number of trains at a time.
  • Traffic jams not likely.

[edit] Cons

  • Trains must slow down to climb a slope.
  • Trains join the main line before leaving. This could cause traffic problems.
  • Trains must turn left to go right. This could lead to trains getting lost. (Can be fixed by using waypoints).

[edit] Tips

  • Make the loops bigger and without sharp turns.
  • Make one of the loops go the other direction, so the train doesn't have to loop around.
  • Make the branches bigger to hold a complete train, so trains that are waiting at a red signal aren't blocking other trains.
