I added the California Western Railroad/ Skunk Train, Cass Scenic Railroad, and Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad today; should show up in the next update. All of these are relatively popular tourist railroads, and I may want that Cass mileage for myself.

Portland Streetcar and TriMet MAX should be split on the one-way couplets through/around downtown because the A and B Loop lines are separate lines... which means an eastbound and a westbound file for the Blue and Red Lines (which will need to be extended out to Hillsboro Airport at the end of the month), and a north and south file for the Yellow, Green, and Orange lines. If A and B weren't separate lines, I think the current setup would work, but as it is, station pairs are offset from each other along Morrison/Yamhill and 5th/6th.

Likewise, the 10th/11th Ave couplets should be split, which will affect the N/S Streetcar Line.

My opposition to separately mapping the A and B loops at all is previously registered... honestly though, I don't necessarily hate the way it is right now with them both run down the middle of the one-way couplets.

The crucial thing here is someone who rides around the loop in one direction should get credit for both, because that is how every other one-way pair on the site is handled with both trains and roads.

How are we handling heritage streetcar lines that are integrated into a light rail system? usamuni currently includes the F, but usamts does not include the Silver Line.

Oh man and that thing even uses the same tracks as the other MTS lines.

It should be included in usamts, this was an oversight. Though as it is 100% concurrent with other lines, costs no one any mileage in its absence.

Added the new Copper Line too. Not any new trackage, replaces what used to be the end of the Green and Orange Lines, but it is a service pattern change that happened just over a month ago.
