A map of all American rapid transit east of the Mississippi river, with accurate alignments. Bordering metro areas appear on multiple maps. I made multiple maps to save space, including ones for the Western United States, Canada, Mexico, and the rest of North America. Feel free to comment suggestions or corrections.
Generally, i look for distance and right-of-way to qualify a line for the map. I've included special services, proposed lines, upcoming changes, and historic railways (post-WW2). I have not included airport trams and other railways only used for one establishment, routes with only two stops; but heritage rail is listed if the distance is far enough. Bus rapid transit has to be certified at least a silver rating by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, or be part of a system that is.
A few changes have been to the map as opposed to what's there in reality:
1. Station names are changed to follow a consistent pattern, even if the actual provider uses something different. I also try to avoid non-roadway abbreviations ("St.") and general names ("Stadium").
2. Many services form complicated loops i cannot make in MetroDreamin, so i do my best work around the fact.
3. Only one point is marked for a station, no alternate entrances are labelled.
4. All Long Island Rail Road lines terminate at either New York City Penn Station or Atlantic Terminal, even tho they also terminate at Grand Central Station and other locations. This is because both Penn and Atlantic have unique stops for their lines. Long Island City and Hunterspoint are listed as regular LIRR stations, not terminals. Likewise, all New Jersey Transit commuter rail lines terminate at New York Penn Station by default, for the same reason.
5. All SEPTA commuter rails fuse together based on old patterns.
