The Spaghetti Junction is a step up from the Cloverleaf. It is more complicated and expensive, but smaller and with more exits before merges.

[edit] Pros

• Handle a large number of trains at a time.
• Traffic Jams are unlikely.
• Trains don't have to loop around like they do in a cloverleaf.
• Functions as a U in 2 of the 4 primary directions.

[edit] Cons

• Trains have to slow down to climb a slope.
• Takes up a large amount of space.
• Trains must turn left to turn right. This could lead to trains getting lost. (Can be fixed by using waypoints)
• Costly to build.
• Indirect path.
• Trains merge before they split in one axis.

[edit] Tips

• Make it so your longest train can fit completely into one of the turning tracks without blocking the main line behind it.
