Hehe, there actually was a similar suggestion to "grow" your railway: Connect a new segment to either end of the rail, and "shift it through", so that the segment gets added to the other end. Including a nice shifting animation, and the ability to set the segment's rotation.
Pro: You wouldn't have to travel to the far end of your tracks just to add a new segment, and you could bridge gaps a lot easier this way. So there's some added comfort. On the other hand, it could unbalance the gameplay, because getting from cliff to cliff is no challenge any more. Apart from that, the "piece by piece" building approach could still get tedious. But as I never implemented this method, it's not tested, and I can't say for certain.
