I have plenty of trains and rails, but I am unable to place trains on my rails. The ghost just doesn't place. Any ideas out there?

Well, one emergency idea is to blueprint a train on some tracks in another game and place that blueprint instead of trying to place the train. That should work.

Otherwise, this is a confusing issue. Placing a train should work. I'll test it out sometime soon.

I verified this issue. I also verified that my blueprint solution would work. I'm going to be thinking about how to solve it. I feel like, to some extent, this is a game bug. I did get the ghost to place once, but only once.

In a creative mode game I got ghost placement to sort of work, but only if I slid the train along the tracks, which then frequently resulted in multiple ghosts. In Braver New World that technique didn't work at all.
