Switch Tracks

This add-on action is available to each player two times in the game during the Build Track action. The active player may pay $5000 to place a Switch Track of their color anywhere on a piece of their existing track. This player may now build another track segment off of this connection following all normal track-building rules.

This means any track placed on the new switch link must be completed to another city before the Income Phase or it is removed.-including the Switch Track marker.

Source note: the printed sentence above reads "or it is removed.-including the Switch Track marker." It is transcribed as printed; the stray hyphen and the clause after it appear to be a typographical error in the compendium.

Think of a Switch Track as a 3-way connection for 3 cities. The image shows only 1 of the possible configurations – the new link can continue into any adjacent hex where you can legally build.
