Sunshine (she/her)New World Train Electrification in Colour
over_cloxPosted 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 sliver in south america). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.
It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color.
If you check the link they shared, it’s practically all orange, so they did not share the default view, nor a color legend to go along with it.
Jumutayea ofc the map is orange, it’s showing the infrastructure type
yk how maps work right?
Not entirely, not when the map site just kicks me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change ‘Style’
Right, it isn’t the default view, it’s the electrified view, which OP stated they were using. If you open the link, the orange is all general rail infrastructure. If you click the top right options button (separate from the layers button), you’ll see an option for electrification. This is the map they shared.
The grayscale option actually only grayscales the territory, not the infrastructure.
I do agree that a legend would have been helpful.
