TO CREATE THE HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT (Secret Way):

To create the horizontal alignment using COGO the Secret way.

This actually isn't a secret... just not real well known.   First of all you must know all the PI coordinates and all the spiral and curve lengths.   An input file can then be created, loaded and read using COGO.   An example of this type of input file is shown below:
