I think it’d give some very good atmosphere to the game and it’s not too hard to implement I guess. Also, it would help players check how busy different lines are.

There is a mod for OpenTTD with the same feature, here is the link where you can find some pics as well:

your tracks should be all used and efficient 🙂

But that will be a cool suggestion.

Just a suggestion, would be really awesome though.

Thumbs up from me!

So the release is finally near and I ask myself, will we see little things like growing grass and/or rust on unused tracks?

Doubtful as there is no point in having unused tracks 😛

If there will be realistic economic model in the game in the future with opening and closing factories, it will be inevitable to abandone unprofitable lines. And honestly, there are those little detalis that bring life to a game!

However in my country all the tracks belong to the state railways. So when they decomission a track, they just let it rot there… of course, the city removes the crossings (by simply pour a layer of asphalt over it), but the tracks remain in place until doomsday…

…which is actually super cool, because I love abandoned railways and enthusiasts can ride handcars on them!
