Track can have different build styles. This influences the drawing in 2D, but also in 3D.
Select the track first, so the Track tab appears.
Standard #
The track is displayed as-is, both in 2D and 3D.
Hidden #
The track is displayed as a dotted line in 2D. In 3D, it will be hidden, and a tunnel is created if necessary.
Embankment #
In 2D, small lines indicate that the track is on an embankment. In 3D, the ground is shaped as an embankment.
Bridge #
In 2D, trellis is drawn over the bridge. In 3D, the track is put on pillars.
