Third Rail

As you may know, TTDPatch now has catenary systems for powering electric trains. However, in some parts of the world, they use a "third rail" instead of catenary, it does the same, except a wheel, or pylon from the train runs on this track, picking up the electic current. Is it possible to do third rail tracks in TTDPatch?

If you can do it with standard sprite replacement, it'll be pretty easy. If you need patch changes to allow steam/diesel trains on third-rail, that'll be a bit more difficult.
If, on the other hand, you require new sprites, that's an entirely different can of worms.

Captain Kirk, we are discussing about that in the NewRoutes thread (Graphics forum). You are welcome to join us there if you want.
