I found that if I drew a selection box around the invisible marker that it would appear as a tiny yellow box. Then if I right clicked the yellow box a popup menu would appear giving me a couple choices of "alignment" and nothing else. I clicked one of the alignment options in desperation. After doing that the marker turned black and stayed that way. Its right click menu then functioned normally.

Another way of forcing the marker to appear is to enter text in the value field of the block, a PITA.

Am I overlooking something or does this area need a little work?

The train tracking itself is working great.
