General OpenTTD • Shared Infrastructure

HI,

Maybe this is possible already but I have been unable to find it or get something working!

I know that Infrastructure Sharing exists. In multiplayer mode an opponent builds a track that extends from the South to the North of the map. I now need to run a train from a station somehwere north to somewhere south and want to use the existing tracks. Everything I have read has said that whilst this is theoretically possible, the routing engine will never consider the opponents tracks when trying to define a route between two stations. In fact so far, I have been unable to connect my tracks to the opponents but this is a different topic (unless my expectations are already too high).

My questions are:

1. Does this already exist and I am just too stupid to make it work?
2. Is there a way to make a rail 'Public' or should infrastructure sharing be enough?
3. If this does not exist, is there any interest in this or is it just me/us that requires this

I guess I am looking for routing similar to that achieved through roads.
