Ahh the railroads.. I've been a railbuff all my life, although im pretty sure I haven't made that apparent to ya'll. Anyways, trains were and still are a big part of my life. Ever since I was a wee little lass I wanted to work on the railroad being the guy driving those big freight trains you see every now and then. Not until I found out how incredibly BORING the job was did I think "maybe I should look into something else for my career". ANYWAYS! Until I find a wife and have kids, you guys are the lucky ones who get to revel in that fantastic hobby. Along with a mount idea, here is my proposal for a train-themed map.

ABANDONED RAILYARD

''With the apocalypse in full swing, many survival groups needed places to stay in order to ensure the future of human survival. Some people turned to the now quiet railyards. A good idea for long-time survival, the railyards provided every human need: shelter, storage, places to eat and sleep, the works!. Even newcomers could stumble across the yard by simply following the tracks. Unfortunately, Casey Jones decided to rise from his grave and say "hello!" to the few that lived. Now the railyards are quiet once more, but theres always hope. Just listen for the whistle in the distance.''

VERY Large map, perhaps larger than Last Harvest (but not as big as void). Combination of both Close and Open quarter maps, with areas even suitable for snipers. Railcars litter the sidings, each track containing different frieght cars, ranging from boxcars (some with open and closed doors), tank cars, auto cars, hopper cars, etc. All cars can be climbed on by mobs and players. A roundhouse is nearby with a surprise for the steam fan of the survivor group waiting outside. Survivors spawn near the station (Appropriately named Blackfield) while mobs spawn in areas both outside the yard and inside cars with open doors.

Below is a sprite I have made that can provide a suitable rendition of what the map could look like should it be added to the game. Made by yours truly :)
