This map is aiming to create very accurate and precise railway systems (don't believe me? toggle railway map, I've added waypoints so that all the tracks are exactly correct). However, due to AP/IB/finals testing, recent updates are much slower. “Traffic congestion is caused by vehicles, not by people in themselves.” — Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities There are many announcements that will not be made in the description, but rather in the comment section. In addition, there are disputes between this map and other maps between where a line starts/ends because of operating patterns, so this map uses Wikipedia as the source (if available) and OpenRailwayMap (if Wikipedia article does not exist).
