Featuring \u003cstrong\u003eCode 80 nickel silver rail and black railroad ties\u003c\/strong\u003e, this Atlas Snap-Track component integrates with compatible Atlas N Scale Code 80 track for building junctions, industrial areas, yards and complex track arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a turnout or switch, a crossing does not allow a train to change from one route to another. Instead, \u003cstrong\u003etwo independent tracks cross through one another while each route continues straight through the intersection\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A turnout provides a diverging route that allows a train to move from one track alignment to another. A crossing simply allows two independent railroad tracks to physically intersect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrains entering ATL2569 on either route continue straight through the crossing. There is no selectable or diverging route between the two intersecting tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas N Scale Code 80 Snap-Track\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2569 is part of the \u003cstrong\u003eAtlas N Scale Code 80 Snap-Track system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Atlas Snap-Track components are designed to connect together for quick and straightforward sectional-track layout construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlas Code 80 track system includes straight track, curved track, crossings, turnouts and flex track, giving N scale model railroaders a wide selection of components for building everything from simple layouts to complex railroad track plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNickel Silver Rail \u0026amp; Black Ties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlas 90° Crossing features \u003cstrong\u003enickel silver Code 80 rail with black railroad ties\u003c\/strong\u003e, matching other components throughout the Atlas N Scale Code 80 track system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCode 80 refers to rail measuring approximately \u003cstrong\u003e.080\" high\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This is the steepest crossing geometry in this group of Atlas N Scale Code 80 crossings and is useful when two tracks need to intersect perpendicularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause ATL2569 uses fixed geometry, the surrounding track should be planned so that all four approaches align properly with the crossing. Compatible Atlas Code 80 straight, curved and flex track can then be used to connect the crossing to the remainder of the railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Complex N Scale Track Plans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrossings make it possible to create track arrangements beyond conventional straight and curved routes.
