This is probably better suited for /n/, but that board is slow as fuck and I don't want to wait 3 days for constructive feedback.
I've been making a fictional transit map for the northeast US, in an alternate reality where the east coast is roughly as densely populated as western Europe, and the governments of the states opted to keep and maintain an extensive passenger rail network from the heyday of American railroads. Pic related, is my current progress. It's not done yet, but when I finish it, it'll cover the entirety of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia, with connections to stations in New Brunswick, Québec, Ontario, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the bump, spambot
Why would you do this?
>Thoughts?
See a therapist.
>Why would you do this?
Autism. Why else?
my great grandpa was president of the erie-lakawana railroad
bro, this is so oddly specific that I don't know if I should be impressed or offer you some Zoloft
What am I looking at here
Based if true
Thanks, my dude. It was just something I started while listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos in my free time.
Tracings of operational and defunct rail lines with placemarks on top of stations in Google Earth
So basically racist autistic shit
Save the whales next time. Next!
>racist autistic shit
How is it racist?
>Save the whales next time
What does that have to do with anything?
This is an oddly specifically cool idea. What inspired you to do this?
Wow, this is pretty damn impressive. I'm not really at all experienced in this field, but I will say, it look pretty impressive.
are you a foamer, OP?
swear to god. great grandpa johnston was a brigadier general under macarther in australia during wwii working on railroad logistics during wwii. came back home and ran EL out of cleveland. i live pretty close to his big old house.
these millenial communists think literally breathing air is racist, the best you can do is nod and ignore them
Stumbled across a fictional expansion of Boston's subway system, thought I'd take a crack at plotting out the diagram onto the streets, made my own expansions, and it just snowballed from there. Originally it was just New England, with connections to New York, New Brunswick, and Québec, but I decided "fuck it" and started working on New York and New Jersey.
my grandpa once spat his dentures out when he sneezes a little to strong
how impressed are you now user
Yep. Guilty as charged
That's actually pretty cool.
Probably not even one of those, probably a stray /pol/tard trying to rile people up by LARPing as a retard on the far left, as opposed to a retard on the far right.
dad watches that ray fanning channel, he's not as crazy as to follow train schedules and going on trips to see them but he's very invested on the whole deal
i'm still trying to understand the underlying premise here, is this some kind of post apocaylptic story?
No, it's not post-apocalyptic. It's just simply if the northeastern US developed a rail network like western Europe and kept it to the current day
ok, i'm still very impressed, congrats OP, just remember to in between take some breaks to save the whales or ask for paper bags, you don't wanna be racist do you
>in between take some breaks to save the whales or ask for paper bags, you don't wanna be racist do you
Okay, still have no idea what that means, but thanks(?)
