Thanks, this roughly seems to bedoing what I want.
but for some reason (possibly when i save) the path effectisappliedanc actually changes the path.
meaning I can't later go and change what I want railroads look like .

Any way of avoiding this?
I suspect it has to do with path-efdects not actually being part of the svg standard
