Elevated rail question

So I was just wondering if anyone had any Ideas on how to build elevated rails over sunken highways without them looking stupid. I tried using the High elevated rail pieces to piece it together, keeping it all level and looking good, but then I can't connect those pieces to the dragable Elevated rail.. Not quite sure what to do. Any Ideas or helpfull hints would be appreciated.

    I think you have to build a transiton using the low level pieces.

    In the High El Rail piece rotation there should be an on-slope piece. Use that for the sides of the sunken slopes - be sure it's rotated in the correct direction. Then use the over-Highway piece in the center. You should be able to drag the El Rail from the ends of the on-slope sections. Using those will get this...

    Thank you. I just figured out that my problem was that I didn't have the drag-able El rail pieces overlapping with the High El Rail pieces when ploping, hence the reason I couldn't connect them. Thank you for the picture too, very much appreciated.

    Wow, that easy huh?  I was having trouble with this too - hoping to building some elevated rail and/or monorail over sunken rail and/or sunken highway in my newest city.  Thanks for the tip!
