[edit] Pros

  • Traffic jams unlikely.
  • Can handle a large number of trains at a time.
  • Trains that don't have to take make a turn can go past it.

[edit] Cons

  • Some trains must slow down to climb a slope.
  • Difficult to build correctly on the first try.
  • Sharp turns slow trains down.
  • Outer tracks have to run on a higher level than the inner two.
  • Takes quite some space.
  • Long bridges.

[edit] Tips

  • Start by building the "short diagonal" track first.
  • The first image above shows the junction without the bridges. Build this first and save the bridges for the last, otherwise you won't be able to see what you're doing.
