Rail on Arid Planes?

Where is the rail on Arid Planes (map for mass transit)
I cannot seem to find it :P

They come from four different directions if I remember correctly, but they just dead-end. I don't think any of them reach the start square, you need to buy some.

I believe there is one on each of the squares adjacent to the starting square, I usually like to buy the square directly across the river first, there is a rail line on the far side of that square.

I was just on that map the other day and there is one East about a tile or two along the southern side of the highway.

FYI, it's Arid Plains. It is used in the trains scenario for Mass Transit. There are issues with the map where there are no water spawners along the rives and it causes weird dry spots in the river. You may need to use water towers on the map if it happens.

Or use Extra Landscaping Tools mod to add water spawns along the river. I think I added three even spread out along the length of the river.

Yeah, seriously... there is definitely a problem with whoever created some of the maps at Colossal Order. I am always having to edit the maps to make corrections. I expect to have to do this with maps from the Workshop, but I find it shocking that poorly designed maps come from the developers themselves.
In this case, the gradient for the riverbed is too steep and this creates the staggered wave behaviour in the waterflow. So, inserting water spawners along the length to maintain and regulate the surface level isn't enough. The whole riverbed has to be terraformed to get a gentler, shallower gradient to correct it.

Ok, If you are on the starting square looking towards the river, and you look right, there is a rail to the right

Yeah, I am building on this one now, one tile 'north' of the start square, right next to the river. I belive there is another a couple tiles down toward the coast.

Yea, that is where I found it
