The Wool and the Floss has posted a short video showing you how to "railroad" threads on their Facebook page.
If you cross stitch, you've heard of railroading, but if you aren't, it's really easy to do. Basically railroading substitutes for using laying tools if you are working with two plies of thread. You come up as usual, then when you go down into your needlepoint canvas, you put your needle between the two threads. This forces them to lay in two parallel straight lines like a railroad track, which is why it's called railroading.
