So i was futzing around with my phone just now, (ok i was trying to look for CFL game info), and i ended up looking at a 3D map of toronto union station. There i find a few Go trains sitting, but in 3D!! Other things like the old buffalo central terminal are mapped in amazing 3D detail... I have no words for how cool this is. It's like being there....!

Anyone else with apple maps find any other neat passenger railroad related stuff?

Hm, weird, they work totally fine for me! Anyways, they show 3D images of rolling stock, which takes a pretty accurate mapping data set, and the result is pretty neat i think! :)

I secretly hope they do more areas, like along the NEC, morrisville yard, have not checked sunnyside yard yet..... :)
