JChain, <br /> <br />Yes, you will have to remove the first two or three ties to slip on the rail joiners. Use the Xuron rail cutter (carefully to avoid cutting any more rail) or an exaxto blade. If you have cut the track to fit, you may also find that you need just a little fileing to get burrs off the end of the cut. Not a lot, but it happens often enough that I make a quick pass with a file over the sides and bottom of each rail as a matter of habit. It seems to take less time than trying to joiner, finding you need to file it, filing it, and putting them back together, if you just make it part of your track cutting routine.
