Description
I was looking through openrailwaymap.org while trying to find a good US area to make an endless map with, or maybe to make a timetable map with a crossing somewhere in it, and decided to try looking at some metro/light rail systems. I stumbled upon Cleveland, Ohio, whose system seems to just be three lines with nothing special... except for some reason, the biggest station is listed twice on openrailwaymap.org, and one of the tracks is split into two dead-end tracks. I'm PRETTY sure it's a through track, but...
I decided to remake it in-game - the track incorrectly split in half still - and changed up the routes a little bit to spice things up. It's not that crazy of a level, but it's still kinda fun. At least, I think it's still fun.

Fun and easy little map. I got three stars on my first attempt. Highly enjoyed!

I'd edit it myself but there doesn't seem to be any way to load someone else's map in the editor at this point. Boo. I'm not quite willing to redo all your work!

If you wanted to get fancy, the Cleveland system has some real oddities: the Blue and Green lines are low-platform and the Red line is high-platform, but they run on the same tracks. This means that they have separate platforms at every shared station -- usually end-to-end with a ramp in between. They're not actually stopping at the same place.

A proper model would have "Tower City Red Side" and "Tower City Green/Blue Side" as separate sets of platforms. They're actually through separate sets of fare gates, so they really are two stations.

I know the station. It is, in actual fact, two dead-end "pocket" tracks. Yes, it used to be a through track; it was split during the conversion from intercity rail to Metro.
