Ground Rail to Elevated Rail Conundrum

[TheOtherRick]

I am fresh back to playing SC4 and feeling like a real noob right now. I could have sworn that it was possible to transition ground rail to elevated rail. The only transition piece I have been able to find is ground rail to viaduct rail. I am running the most recent version of NAM (31.2). There are all kinds of goodies, but I'll be dipped if I can find the piece I am looking for. I wouldn't mind using viaduct instead of regular elevated rail, except that I cannot find a way to drag it...only puzzle pieces.

Can someone point me the right way?

First off, welcome back to SC4! 

There isn't a draggable system for the Elevated Heavy Rail viaducts--they're all still just puzzle pieces.  The transition from ground-to-elevated should be at the very beginning of the TAB Loop for those pieces.

I think I realize my mistake now that I have read your response. The elevated rail I was referring to (draggable) is not elevated heavy ground rail...it is elevated subway rail!    Thanks Alex.

Glad to help.

If you're looking for the Ground Light Rail/Elevated Light (Subway) Rail transition, that'll be under the Draggable GLR button, a few pieces into the TAB Loop.  Understandably, it can get quite confusing going between those two--I usually make sure to include the Heavy/Light distinction when talking about them.
