      It’s why we gotta demand of our leaders to commit to electrification of the lines.

    A tiny pink line will appear if you were to zoom in to Mason City, Iowa, USA.

        Many of the big, blue cities will have some color if you zoom in. But only to commute within the area

    The purple line is surprising in Venezuela as they have abundant oil, I guess they want to export the oil at higher prices to other countries.

    Posted image is literally in grayscale (though the provided link is in color).

      I think the original poster posted this intentionally as sarcasm because there is so little color in the image. If you look at the original image and look at the USA North east near new york, you’ll see a few meager lines that are various colors (as well as a few slivers in south and central america, and what looks like a dot in los Angeles). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.

      It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color. I’m on mobile and am able to see it. If you’re not able to, it may be an issue with your app or method of viewing the post.

      Because the vast majority of the rail lines in the Americas are fossil fuel powered.

        I checked your provided link, practically all the lines in the USA were orange, not black.

            Then you should clarify that people should check the link if they want to see the colored map.

            Lemmy preview doesn’t care about that, you literally shared the grayscale version and called it colored.

                Not being negative, just telling you what I see. Also, you didn’t provide a color code, nor did you suggest phone users to zoom in.

                  Yay, I get more criticisms.

                  That’s why I said colour in the title and phone users already know they must zoom in on map data.
