Track Ballast

Description
Adds pure track ballast to the game (in form of an additional track variant).

Extremely useful to stop the AI from blocking your railways with their crazy construction behaviour... and I guess at the same time it even looks good!

I thought this would be just for decoration, but it actually works well to plan out a railroad line for free, then you use the upgrade tool to turn the ballast into track.
It makes laying out a complex rail junction much more cost effective as it costs nothing to place and nothing to demolish, so you can plan to your heart's content, then only lay your track when everything is perfect.

Nice work. Simple and effective.

Very useful to simulate old/dismissed railways

Ne interessante Idee.

Like the look, easy to use and works very well .

I know why now, because I changed the speed of it to 400 to get it away from the normal tracks which are selected quite more often. Unfortunately, the only way to order the track menu is the speed but if the ballast has a higher speed than the normal tracks, the catenaries disappeares.

@Vinny
You can use the highspeed track upgrade for conversion, if you apply it twice it will even allow for slow speed tracks.

@Rasiator
Catenaries shouldn't just disappear, are you using any other modded tracks?

Why does the catenary disappear when laying parallel tracks?

@malakie, they're referring to the AI construction crew as it were.. they tend to build over railway lines,
