: Repeat lines and expand the space between them I am trying to speed up the process of creating a train track. The track I am making goes into the horizon in the distance. The lines/pieces

You can use Blend tool to also. it is a pretty neat and powerful tool for creating shades , repeated lines and perspective illusions.

Update:

I forgot to mention about the free transformation tool.

what you need to do.


take thick short line and a thinner large line.
blend it with Specified Steps
expand them
ungroup them
Mark all and use free distort tool. use the perspective submenu.
hold the top corner (left or right). Drag inside.
Use the selection tool , mark all and only resize from the top .
you will get the perspective view of the lines being adding distance in between


N:B: This might be a complicated method or overkill a bit. Just sharing how i did it. I will be updating the post with images ASAP.
thank you.

You'd be better off using a transform effect (Effect → Distort & Transform → Transform...) on a single line. Just set a number of copies, some vertical movement and use vertical scale to create the change in spacing:
