Title: A Survey on Digital Cartography and Route Design Methodologies in the Trainz Simulation Platform

7. Industries, yards, and interactive elements

Industry placement: Place industries logically with service tracks and road access; configure load/unload nodes correctly.
Yard design: Provide realistic shunting space and runaround tracks; avoid overly tight clearances.
Interactions: Add functional stops, platform markers, cargo nodes, and pathing for service vehicles.

Surveyor Tool: This is the built-in "world editor" where you physically place tracks, buildings, and landscape features. trainz map

Basemapz: Allows creators to import physical track plans or satellite imagery as templates directly onto the floor of the Surveyor. Environment & Texturing: Title: A Survey on Digital Cartography and Route

Start Point: Coal Harbor (empty hoppers)
Task: Pick up 1000t of coal, navigate the 1.5% grade, stop at Riverside Station (platform on left), then switch to the Quarry Branch at Falls Junction before delivering to the Sawmill.
Hazards: Long tunnel has no signals—use headlights. Speed restriction after tunnel due to forest overgrowth (40mph).

Trainz map (specifically the Surveyor 2.0 tool) features a unique system called Surveyor 2.0 (S20) Surveyor Tool : This is the built-in "world
