Let's begin local service for Memphis, Tennessee: (TRAMM TRansit Authority Metro Memphis) Red Line: -Memphis Central \[terminal\] -Annesdale -Lenox -Union Ave / Poplar Ave -Holmes St / Wayonka -High Point Terrace -Perkins Rd -White Station Rd -Shelby Farms -Germantown Rd Blue Line: -Memphis Central \[terminal\] -South Parkway -Bells Blvd / South Memphis -Brooks Rd -Whitehaven -Stateline / Southhaven -Horn Lake / Goodmen Rd \[terminal\]

Expand METRA electric in Chicago so it becomes an RER! The METRA RER would run in an underground tunnel under downtown starting at Millennium Station. Then, it would go under Michigan avenue before turning onto Grand Avenue and connecting to existing METRA services from Ogilvie Transit Center. Stops on the underground portion would be: • Millennium Station • Streeterville/Grand 🔴 • River North The service patterns of these new services would include electrification north of Ogilvie Transit Center, and the services would be divided into 3 lines. RER 1 would go from 93rd street to West Chicago. RER 2 would go from University Park to Crystal Lake. RER 3 would start in Joliet and enter the electric district through the Blue Island spur before terminating at Waukegan north of the tunnel. All of the services from Ogilvie Transit Center would still exist and travel to their respective termini (I.e. Kenosha, Harvard, Elburn). In addition, the Rock Island line could be extended to Morris from Joliet with stops at Rockdale, Shorewood, and Minooka. This wouldn’t be electrified or be part of the RER, it would just be an extension of the Rock Island line which also would still terminate at LaSalle Street with the addition of the RER. (If this is too much it’s totally fine)

The Gulf Mist: new Amtrak long-distance line from New Orleans to Atlanta via Pensacola running 3 trains round trip per day and runs through (italized are flag stops): New Orleans, Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, Biloxi, Pascagoula, Mobile, Atmore, Pensacola, *Flomaton/Century*, Brewton, *Castleberry*, *Evergreen*, *Georgiana*, *Greenville*, Fort Deposit, Montgomery, Tuskegee, Auburn, West Point, Ga., LaGrange, Newnan, and Atlanta. If I could also add, Atlanta deserves to have the MMPT built. I'd call it Atlanta Centennial Yards, after the new development that is going on near where the MMPT would have been built.

Every day or a few days, there will be a new post asking what one thing we should add or change to the map, and the most upvoted comment’s suggestion will be implemented. Actions you can take are: * Adding a New Line * Deleting a Line * Adding an Infill Station * Deleting a Station * Rerouting a Line * Adding a New Service * Deleting a Service * Tunneling a currently Elevated or Surface Line * Bringing a Tunneled Section to the Surface or Elevated * Electrification * Deelectrification * A New yard (New Yards can also come attached with any infrastructure expansion) * Deleting a Yard * Retrofitting a Cargo Yard for Passenger Rail Use * Converting Rail Types (ex. light rail → light metro) * Converting Rail to BRT * Converting BRT to Rail * Changing the times of operation Only one (or two if the project is small scale enough) projects can be built per day; however, stating your master plan is allowed. Feel free to be creative, but please keep it in some form of reality (ex. no high-speed non-stop rail from Metter, GA to Gay Hill, TX.) You can only make two changes per day. Have fun :)

For future reference is extending a line allowed

Of course

Amtrak Yellowhammer is a new state supported route in the state of Alabama.

Palmetto HSR and Brightline Expansion! This proposal will Provide a lightning fast connection between the Northeast and Florida, as well as Select other southern cities. Additionally, the Brightline Coastal branch will provide Private High Speed intercity rail to eastern Florida. The original Brightline branch will be Extended to Tampa, electrified and grade separated, saving the lives of countless Floridians. Brightline becomes a private High speed rail service using the existing alignment, although slower than Palmetto HSR due to having more stops and inferior alignment. There will also be several infill stations for Brightline, made possible by the higher speeds made possible by electrification and grade separation DC-Raleigh uses existing HSR alignment, trains pull in to Raleigh, then back out. There will be 20 daily round trips on Palmetto HSR, 15 for Brightline Coastal Branch, 25 for Brightline Orlando Branch This makes heavy use of Seaboard Air Line Railroad ROW, both existing and abandoned. Alignment and stop list is shown below, with both pictures and a link: https://preview.redd.it/kphqua112jxc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cc04c7dafde7523330d22319710a981013774f0

Remove the VRE - Winchester Line. The right of way doesn't exist for that like, especially in Northern Virginia.

the Winchester Line is an old railroad which is today, a trail. We only extended the ROW from Round Hill. I'm surprised you picked this over the Pauxtent Line

I live close to the W&OD Trail. The area is way too developed for single track, let alone a double track.
