Realistic start default map

Hey!
This map is a thing I made because I hate people using truck instead of trains at the start. Basically the point of this was to make a realisitc post-war start, when road networks weren't well developed, the railway system was dense, small industry existed, but also damage has been caused by the war.
You start off on the default populated map, but remade, with added infrastructure.
Besides the standard things there are:
-rails
-low voltage wooden powerlines
-abandoned small factories and storages
-freight passenger stations
-a depot
-a rail construction office

Some people might find this map not so challenging, however I don't think it's that way.
The challenge here, is that after the war, most of the infrastructure has been destroyed.
You, as the new leader, have to manage everything, and restore the old glory. You have to place signals on the railway, repair the infrastructure and expand the republic. Build bigger and better industry with a base, which may seem strong at first, but will make you cry.
It's nice for roleplaying too!

Now a description of the railway lines:
-Line 101 Kromnova Border - Dzyarstavichy Switch. The only railway line with speeds above 70km/h allowed. It has been modernized just before the War, because it was an important piece of infrastructure connecting the big border house in Kromnova with a second important line - the line 102. The biggest station on the line is Leszcie, which is a 3 way knot station, connecting the line 101 with line 3. The major industries on the line are mainly in Leszcie. An abandoned distillery with a warehouse are set there.
-Line 102 Kazinchad Border - Vulcanedeni Border. Another important line, the only one double track. The double track section is between Virav and Zhlopolatsk. The part of the line between Zhlopolatsk and Vulcanedeni border is heavily damaged. It's missing a bridge and large pieces of track. It's a very important line, connecting the eastern and western border and running through the most important towns in the country - Trirov, Viraw, Łolona, Ełnicza, Lyuslav and Zhlopolatsk. Zhlopolatsk has a brick factory, Lyuslav a sawmill, Ełnicza a slaughterhouse, Łolona a fabric factory and a quarry complex and Viraw - food factory. The part between Kazinchad and Viraw has not been taken care of after modernization of the line 101. It's still not in as bad of the condition as the part to Vulcanedeni. Near the town of Kolata there's a beautiful railway bridge, left untouched. Every bridge on the double track section has been severely damaged (Viraw and Svidava).
-Line 1 Brospyne Switch - Viraw. It's a small branchline and the oldest railway line in the country. Despite being a small branchline and running through smaller towns, it's extremely well industrialized with a coal mine, a food factory and a couple of storages on the way. It has 2 stations on the way.
-Line 2 Ełnicza - Cribozia. A slow single track line starting in Ełnicza with a big, untouched bridge, and then cutting a mountain with a tunnel. Then it proceeds to climb into the higlands to then come down to Recasebes. During the war, a railway crossing was hit by a large bomb, resulting in a large crater which needs to be filled again to make the line operational. The station in Recasebes has 2 sidings - to a cement storage and a livestock farm. After the war and the change of borders, the part of the line after Recasebes has lost its importance, because the relations with the west were really bad, and no trains needed to run there. Most of the track after Recasebes has been ripped apart and overgrown with bushes and a forest. There also used to be a station in Balasros with a siding to a big iron mine complex, which now stands abandoned, ready to be reopened. The line to the border and the mine can be easily rebuilt by following the path of the old railway.
-Line 3 Leszcie - Sejov Border. The least important line, and the lowest grade one. While it suffered no major damage during the war, it doesn't have much importance. It directly connects Leszcie and the Sejov border, without any stations or sidings.

I hope you like it and enjoyed the lore :)
have fun!
