Help with vertex snapping & positions

[torn cosmos]

I have this track that I am trying to model and when I vertex snap the distance between the two rails decreases. I need to keep this constant so for now I have the track looking like this. How can I connect the rails without the distance changing.

"without the distance changing" as in you want the two parts meet in the middle?

[torn cosmos]

the two rails??

[zealous pasture]

the metal parts

[torn cosmos]

no, thats what im trying to prevent

sorry this is hard to explain

[zealous pasture]

So you don't wanna connect, for example, those two by having them meet in the middle 🤔 ?
how else do you wanna connect them?

[torn cosmos]

i want the two rails to not get closer but the rails on the side not connected to connect

yeah that makes no sense

[torn cosmos]

but yes, connect the two points of the rail together as shown

Dunno if there is a good way to do it without math or slowly increasing the size (or adding a new piece whose size you adjust) by holding Ctrl+Shift while resizing or manual value editing.
