only when yo got 1 line running between 2 of the same station, you can make it real railroads, otherwise blurryness takes over. Perhaps a kinda blocky railroad with the colors of the railroads?
sample black-white:

i think it looks better that way though i think that the gray should just be transparent so the black is there and the blurness should be fixed

Yes...i don't think there is going to be a lot to be done about that...it is the angel that the lines run at that makes it appear as chains.

this may come over as weird, but can't you just add some extra pixels on either side to straithen it out? (sorry, paint is the best I can do)

I mgonna put my hand up and say that im not a fan of the rails. They dont sit so nicely with the european theme. Im not really sure how to explain what rails I would see working, I jsut feel that these ones dont do it. . .
sorry

Gimil. not to worry, not everyone can like these things.
Anyway...it gives rise to this poll.

Option B. Modern

Gotta say - I prefer the original... (Sleeper rails) as that's is what *most* of europe have...
C.

i also voted traditional...fits better with overall theme.
btw, in the legend it says "HSL is linked to STK via ferry"...
but on the map the station is named HEL.

I still go for B, but I can sure find me in A

Sorry, I don't actually see the rails in option A. Though, I think they'd be what I'd prefer, if they are similar to what we've seen in the past on this map. I'll hold off on voting 'til the rails appear in my browser.

There are rails running between Paris-Brussels and Amsterdam.
I didn't place them all coz there is a lot of work in that and i wasn't gonna do it and then have you guys change it.
