Turnout Rail
R-11
A point that splits into straight and curved routes. You switch the route by hand.
The curved side bends exactly like an ordinary Curved Rail, so it can serve as part of a circle as it is. The strength of this part is that slipping 1 point into a loop doesn't break the loop's shape.
In this app you can switch the route after placing it. Run a train and you can see which way it goes.
