iOS 3D maps of interesting railroad stuff

[25Hz]

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?

I can't get those links to work.

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.....

if its your photos , maybe you need to make links for other people to see them.
