We consider a random generalized railway defined as a random 3-regular multigraph where some vertices are regarded as switches that only allow traffic between certain pairs of attached edges. It is shown that the probability that the generalized railway is functioning is linear in the proportion of switches. Thus there is no threshold phenomenon for this property.
