    This would be interesting, a railroad map for a region or even a continent. This would be really fun, but the thing for me is that it would have to be a corporate map. As far as I am aware, railroads are divided by corporations and would not show the full rail line unless owned by them. But I could be wrong though.

    Great idea though!

    I'm sure that with we could make maps that are impartial and cover all railways if we so wished (you could avoid this by doing a single line); this challenge suggestion is open to interpretation as long as the railway system is central to the theme.

    I feel that if we were to do that, it'd look like any standard atlas; the aim of this challenge would be to make it more difficult and focus it on a specific type of transport system, like how the river challenge was to focus on a land feature. Otherwise, it's not unique.

    If we were to do this challenge, I'd agree with you. The whole point of a challenge is to make it challenging.
