When you need an intersection
As soon as i began to have more than 2 stations and used double track i found the track laying very frustrating. Instead of a classic Y intersection i gave up and did a roundabout.

Since others may face the same issue, perhaps i could help them along with a little quick guide.

The roundabout will scale with more access rails, this size accomodates 4 but a bigger one could have 5 or more. Note that roundabouts don't scale well with traffic, many trains will lock each other in the intersection, but as the game doesn't do +10 trains well it likely won't be an issue.
One way
You will need to make the intersection one way
Caution
Try not to make it too tight (low speeds) or too big (long hauls).

Just adding:

each railway line is one direction (like road).

Even if you only have 1 single dot for the station, as long as you connect perfectly 2 (or more) lines yo said dot, you can have 2 (or more) single line railway (hold alt to change direction)

When i said i don't need roundabout because no queue, i mean that i go city to city with my trains VS what is shown on this guides avatar. But even then, you only need a little segments of double way to do a crossover.

Am i the only one who does double lane almost everywhere? It's not mentioned but the game does automatic alignment the second to the 1st (unless you move to close to the 1st, causing Y merge).

And just to clarify. I don't mean drag lone tracks, but small segments, click after click. Because if you zoom in, you notice that each click added a signal. Each signal meaning you slit the rail in mutiple segments. Aka 1 train per segment. Meaning there more segments you have, the more trains can go on the same line at the same time, one behind other.

So while it's time consuming to do tons of segments, the result is trains (of the same speed) go at the same time. Thims means i never need to create roundabouts since no queue

nope!
Takes up way too much space!
Now... how do I upload a screenshot, to show you how it's done . . .

I adore doing roundabouts. The problem though is getting the computer to recognize that I'm trying to make a circle. For some reason, the computer thinks that I'm trying to build something else.
