Some may feel that the railroads are too dominating when the map is fully railroaded.
There have been a few versions of light railroads.
My idea to reduce rail coverage was to add telephone/telegraph poles and at the same time remove the railroads completely from the fully railed tiles.
The railroads will still show mostly along the coasts and around lakes, and the tpoles will indicate that the rails have been built and the benefit is present, but there is less graphic clutter and the layers below irrigation and such will become more visable.
I have added 3 buildings to the fully railed tiles, no buildings on the other tiles. So about 1% of the total file (272 tiles) has buildings and about 18% (3 of 17) of the fully tiled have buildings.
Since the buildings are part of the file, the wires can go over the buildings.
The rails still start and grow as they always have as the workers build them, it is only as the fully railed tiles start to show will the disappear.
Telephone poles appear throughout the file.
