Here's the problem: some of the track is inside a tunnel (now don't ask me what that wire-like thing is sticking out of the tunnel portal - have no idea)
Luckily I have an access hole to reach inside the tunnel from the side:
Okay, time to fix things so trains can run again. First we'll slide the new piece of flex into the tunnel:
