    So, I've been making a route and screwed one part of it up. I have 3 lines. One that can be used by diesel, steam, and electric (pantograph only) and electro-diesel locomotives), one that supports steam, diesel, and the diesel mode of electro-diesel locomotives, and one that supports steam, diesel, and third-rail locomotives. I'm working on the Third rail section of the route as the track laying is not the best and there's too many turns and twists when there shouldn't be. So, I'm trying to make it so the third-rail part of the route has zero ugly twists and turns. I'm removing some tracks and laying new ones, but I'm not sure if one can connect tracks that use easements (I'm hoping they can, but it's probably not possible) so I turned to the DTG forums to see if it is possible to connect easements tracks together. If not, is it possible to use easements with tracks that were laid without easements?

    You can't connect them using snap-to-track, if that's what you're asking, but you can do it through trial and error to line up the pieces.
