I really like elevated rails. However, i think they are sometimes way to big to fit, and not always looks good. I take sense in some places, bot not all. If it elevates rail to next level, it's ok. But since we have cliffs, it's not alvays necessery - cliffs are naturaly elevateing terrain.

Is it hard to make much smaller (and cheaper...?) version of Rail Ramp, that can be only placed on the cliff, and extends just minimal distance in both directions?

Now Rail Ramp is 16x4 tiles (8 Rail length + space on the sides), and You need to place it on the one side of the cliff.
Abutment could be 6-8x4 (3-4 rail length), and majority of it is on the cliff itself - on already wasted space.

I like to play "organically", fiting rails between cliffs, and using natural shape of terrain. I almost never destroy cliffs.
