I am using NAM 3.2 in SC4. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong with this Elevated Rail connection? I have the overhang in place but I can't connect the tracks.

Have you tried dragging the avenue after the el rail?

The other side lot is also supposed to be used on the tile the station is overhanging on at the other side of the avenue. Currently your placement is one tile off.

    Thank you. I moved the overhang to the left so it's under the platform. I still cannot get the tracks on the left to connect to the station.

    You may need to level the ground under the station. The elevation on both ends of the lot with transit access has to be the same for the network to be dragged through.

    These are tricky pieces.  You not only have to have level ground but must make sure you don't have any locked tiles next to it.  Locked tiles are things like Pedestrian Malls.  Such things have to be placed after the station is created and the road properly connected as well as the tracks.  You may have to drag the tracks though the station to get it to connect.

    Drag the El Rail over the avenue first, and then plop the station.  This is the case for most stations/puzzle pieces: you have to drag the networks through, and plop over top.

     

    You also have to drag El Rail through a second time to connect and activate the station.
