Can a tile be placed or upgraded so its track runs off the map, into the sea or into a blank hex edge?

The rulebook forbids these edges for placement and upgrade alike, and the forum agrees.

No. A track segment may not run off the hex grid, end against the blank side of a grey hex, or end against a solid red hex side such as a lake, inlet or river. The same limits apply to upgrades, so straight coastal track cannot be upgraded to end at the shore.
