Terrain editing problems

Its not a big thing,but an irritating one.
I´ve edited the railroad images in a scenario and the problem is that the north and south railroads\roads(img 5 and 9) doesnt connect when showing up on the map,its a disgusting gap between them even though the roads really have been made fully in both directions so they should connect.
The weird thing is that if i import and use the default civ2 terrain1.gif it still shows up with a gap between the roads!?
What am i missing here?

Thanks

it sounds like there is 1 square of water in the road,but that seems way too obvious.
Maybe an image of the situation might help?

yup, an image might actually make it easier

You probably made the railroads a little wider than the originals, right?
I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. You see such a gap because the part of the railroad image below the central magenta diamond will not be displayed (just like with units).

Here's a simple example. To the left are the roads as you would want them, to the right you see the part that actually remains of the upper image. I think the lowest line within the diamond may even fall off too, not just the part below the diamond. Because such a big part is chopped off, you'll see an ugly gap. This problem also appears to some extent with the left/right connection, but you can work around it in that case by making the connection a little higher (the parts above the central diamond don't disappear).
