Remove Catenary / 3rd Rail

Description
Annoyingly the default game has a habit of incorrectly placing catenary masts in the middle of rails at junctions. I've tried multiple ways of preventing this but to no avail. As this annoys me far more than it should I've put this simple mod together. It adds two new types of track which, when electrified, have a central third rail instead of catenary. They support all electric trains. It's not perfect but I prefer it to having my trains clip through badly placed catenary masts.

Note that there can be some weirdness when building the third rail track parralel to catenary track, one type can overwrite the other. Stations will use catenary by default but change to third rail when all tracks are connected to third rail.

Is there an idiots guide to getting this to work? I'm asking because no matter how many times I try it doesn't change the sations from catenary to 3rd rail. Rather pointless having 3rd rail tracks and catenary stations. Also tracks don't change catenary track to 3rd rail. It adds more catenary.

The stations keep overwriting the third rail instead of the catenary

Does anyone know how to solve the problem of when you connect these tracks to stations, the station still has catenary's?

Would it be possible to make electrified tracks without any visible wires/etc at all? That would be nice. I love electric trains but I hate the games catenary but I also don't want a line in the middle of the tracks

Hm, game actually runs better, less stuttering and fps drops with this.
Cheers :)

It almost looks like the 3 Rail O Gaugle Lionel Tracks. I'll go ahead and try it out.
