Very nice. It seems the 25kV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betuweroute is missing. Although mostly used for freight and therefor no or other type of schedule, it would be nice if it was projected at least.
The Netherlands might not have the most extensive or fast rail network, but it's frequencies are pretty much unbeatable. In some places it runs more as a metro network than a heavy rail one. This visualisation shows that nicely!
So I guess the NL is about top 5-ish in the world density wise

Wasn't my experience, frequencies are fine but I don't think it's unbeatable at all. The default simulation is 50x speed by the way, perhaps that gave you the impression.
> but I don't think it's unbeatable at all Based on... What exactly? The Dutch rail network is already considered the busiest network in Europe. So I'm really interested what knowledge you bring that says that it could be busier if many experts say that the busiest trajectories (look at Amsterdam - Schiphol and Amsterdam - Utrecht, for example) are at max capacity already.
And if you include metro rail there are plenty of more frequent rail systems including again Japan but also China, France, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea.
* There's leaves on the rails
* It snows
* It's too cold
* It's too hot
* rand(1, 10) > 7
On top of that, there's protests and strikes.
A proper simulator would cancel most of the trains whenever the weather changes. Dutch trains fail whenever: * There's leaves on the rails * It snows * It's too cold * It's too hot * rand(1, 10) > 7 On top of that, there's protests and strikes.
doesn't work for wide short screens (like PC)... the menu goes off below the view and there's no way to scroll

To recalibrate your expectations I wholeheartedly recommend taking a train ride from somewhere in Germany to anywhere else in Germany.
