RailBlazer

If you can get close to RailBlazer's rail, you can see that each long segment of track is clearly labeled.  The track pieces are numbered and have CGA imprinted on them.  I can only assume this stands for California's Great America.  The other single-rail coasters have similar markings with "MM" etched onto Wonder Woman Flight of Courage at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and "SFFT" on Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.  In this image, 16 bolts attach the steel gusset plate to the two pieces of track.  The white piece of plastic just to the left of the gusset plate used to have a red reflector on it.  It was used in testing the ride prior to its opening in 2018.   During the ride's initial testing, devices that measure g-forces were placed in the train.  A simple light mounted under the train noted when trains passed above reflectors placed around the track.  That way, engineers could corolate the recorded g-forces to the train's position along the course.
