  We deal with networks inspired by toy rail sets constructed by connecting
Y-shaped switches. Once set onto the rails anywhere in the network, trains are
only allowed to travel along the rails in one direction, that is, without
reversing. Under this assumption, how can we determine whether such a train
will always reach any reachable point on the network from only one direction,
or whether at least some points can possibly be reached from both directions?
We find that a rail network is unidirectional if and only if a digraph derived
from the rail network is disconnected. We introduce a method of identifying
such networks by the absence of cycles with an odd number of connections
between the same ends of two switches, which also entails in the same cycle an
odd number of angles formed between the two branch ends of a switch.
