Transportation 'Trains and Railways' No.07: Railroad Switch

The new item 'Railroad Switch' is an improved version of the existing rail switch.

The crafting could be:
1st or 2nd row: Redstone Dust, Rail, Rail
next row: Rail in second slot
The crafted Railroad Switch has the same dimension as a rail.

With a Railroad Switch the player can build both types: 'straight and left' and 'straight and right'.
The texture of a Railroad Switch which is straight is similar to a normal rail but with a specific background.
The texture of a Railroad Switch which is 'switched' is similar to a curved rail but with a specific background.
The specific background is so you can see that it is a Railroad Switch and not a normal rail.

To build a turnout to the left, the Railroad Switch is placed on one block. When one rail is placed in front of and another behind the Railroad Switch, then this creates the straight line. When the next rail is placed to the left of the Railroad Switch, this creates the left-turnout switch. The next rail placed in front of or behind the 'turnout rail' determines the direction parallel to the main line the turnout line will continue.
