    Exclamation alignment with curves that aren't tangent

    I have a real challenge. I'm doing a train design, and at some locations the switches have a curve that intersects the main line, but isn't tangent at the intersection. the curve is rotated by half a degree. How can I create an alignment with this?

    I suppose I could create the alignment from a polyline...
