here's a sketch of a flying (grade-separated) junction, super loosely modeled after the LGV north of Fretin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fretin-triangle-diagram.svg)
(that SVG itself is approximate: the vertical routes are nearly touching for most of their length on the real track. and the scale I chose is obviously wrong, just to illustrate to the rail rendering, otherwise it would be too tiny to make out.)
this only required three paths: one for the bridges, and two for the lower layer, alternating at each turnout
having fewer paths is mostly nicer for editing: being able to fit additional track in without having to do a whole bunch more cloning and masking in Inkscape ^^;

ah, fun, there is a marker-pattern in the spec but i don't think anything supports it … https://www.w3.org/TR/svg-markers/#RepeatingMarkers it would be perfect for detailed ties that said, i might have ways to hack around it … :neobot_thinking:
