 Rails are listed in a separate structure as objects in a given level's byaml file. They come in different types, mainly differentiated by colour, although this writer does not understand the different between them.

+The location of the rail itself does not matter, only that of the given RailPoints. You can use rails to rotate and even resize an object as well as dictate its path.
+RailType can either be set to Linear or Bezier. If a rail is linear, you do not need ControlPoints, and as a result are restricted to straight lines. Bezier curves use ControlPoints to control what a RailPoint's given curve looks like.
+==== RailableParams ====
 Objects are attached to rails using the RailableParams--Rail link. In the byaml it looks like this:
