Allow lines to be split at vertexes in ArcGIS Pro

While editing our Wyoming Statewide Rail System (I created lines for each rail in the system). I utilized the copy parallel and split tools extensively.  These tools helped to increase my productivity for completing this project.  One surprise I had with the split tool was that it did not allow me to split my lines at vertexes.  I could split at intersections or midpoints, but not vertexes.  I had to add a couple of steps to work around this.  The split tool was primarily used when the parallel tracks widened at points along the track or at major curves in the track.  As a result the project would have benefitted from being able to split at the vertexes.  I have included a few images to show the complexity of the project. Thank you for your consideration.Old_Buford_railyard.pngbeginnning_mines_north_converse.pngCheyenne_railyard.pngGreen_River_railyard.png

@ChadKopplin  I am curious if you are using the Pro Editor interactive Split tool or a Pro Geoprocessing tool or something else?  If the interactive Split tool, I am interested to know more about "it did not allow me to split my lines at vertexes."

Thanks,

I selected a line, and chose the Split Tool, and highlighted a vertex, if I click on the vertex the line does not split.  If I go off the vertex either side I can split the line.  I can even split the line if I go to the center of the line between 2 vertexes.  Thank you.

It is the interactive split in the modify features group.

If I bring the layer into ArcMap, I am able to split the line at the vertex.

@ChadKopplin Thanks for the additional information.

Is the data projected on the fly?  You can check in the Contents pane, List by Editing view.  If it is projected on the fly, there will be a warning icon on the feature layer.

That was the issue thank you Jennifer.
