This map is aiming to create highly accurate and precise railway systems (don't believe me? toggle railway map, I've added waypoints so that all the tracks are aligned). [1] “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 made in the comment section. In addition, there are disputes between this map and other maps as to where a line starts/ends often because of operating patterns, so this map uses Wikipedia as the primary source (if available), and OpenRailwayMap as a backup (if Wikipedia article does not exist), . [Note 1] Shinkansen/HSR Waypoints are implemented station by station.
