Complaints/Food For Thought
After playing this map for a few days, while I love it, I do have a criticism. Not that I expect it to be fixed, because this is a modification of a map, but rather something to maybe keep in mind for any possible future edits.

I've been experimenting with the same locomotive in the screenshots, that being Sligwolf's Western Locomotive, both ways around the track. And while for most sections it works perfectly well, those corners are a little too sensitive for just about anything. By doing some tests, I found out that for a perfect, consistent ride around the entire track, if you don't want to derail you have to go a whopping 6 MPH at the fastest. Anything above that will cause you to derail at a few key points, those being the corners at the top of the mountain and the curve in the tunnel closest to the train station.

All other corners are usually good even when pushing 12 MPH, double the determined maximum constant speed for a complete ride. Perhaps it's something wrong with the way the tracks are placed in these two areas, but it's a real annoyance when trying to make consistent rides when you can derail at a speed that is almost a third of what you can run at.

Again, I want to state that this isn't me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the map creator, the edit of gm_fork is great. Just felt like pointing out an issue
