ok, i'm too stupid for this picture...why are commenters implying you die when you use the transporter? it's next to the rails isn't it?
Have you seen "the prestiege"? I think that movie explains the problem perfectly.
It's also a really good movie so enjoy.
No. Not because teleporter but because no need for multi track drifting if other path clear.
