    Hi,
    I was wondering how to add 3rd rail electrification to my route? Since I am building Hannover - Hamburg, the S-Bahn Hamburg is part of it and requires its typical third rail electrification. I have looked at "Edit ranges of track properties" and added third rail electrification, but the third rail didn't spawn next to my tracks. Ideas?
    Thanks! :D

    You can use the IoW (Isle of Wight) DLC track along with its track rule and edit the ranges shown in the screenshot, and you also need to adjust the power of for the third rail.

    There are two settings in the Edit ranges of track properties window. The first defines if it is electrified, the second defines whether to display the third rail or not and from which side. It’s a dropdown, by default it’s “neither” meaning not visible. Not in the editor now, so can’t share a screenshot, but you can find it pretty easily
