Continuation Lane Step

Gallery / Merge & Convergence

Two lines cross into a section and run to a hub two stations in. The hub ends them and starts two lines of its own that carry on to the next station. The ending pair keeps the lanes it arrives on and the starting pair takes its own lanes beside them, so the approach into the hub and the departure out of it both draw flat, with no mid-section step (issue #1816).
