I think the original poster posted this intentionally as sarcasm because there is so little color in the image. If you look at the original image and look at the USA North east near new york, you’ll see a few meager lines that are various colors (as well as a few slivers in south and central america, and what looks like a dot in los Angeles). This is showcasing just how little electrified rail exists in the americas.
It may not seem like it, but it is actually in color. I’m on mobile and am able to see it. If you’re not able to, it may be an issue with your app or method of viewing the post.
You should declare that then, when practically the whole map is in grayscale. Some of us have piss poor vision, I’m at 20/500 vision myself, and my pupils are starting to solidify. Plus my glasses are tinted.
Posted image is literally in grayscale (though the provided link is in color).

If you check the link they shared, it’s practically all orange, so they did not share the default view, nor a color legend to go along with it.
yea ofc the map is orange, it’s showing the infrastructure type instead of electrification
yk how maps work right?
Not entirely, not when the map site just kicks me back to Lemmy when I attempt to change ‘Style’
No it’s not, zoom in on the north-east of the USA.
Thank you, very helpful 👍
Because the vast majority of the rail lines in the Americas are fossil fuel powered.
I checked your provided link, practically all the lines in the USA were orange, not black.
That’s for existing rails you have to click the electrification option.
Then you should clarify that people should check the link if they want to see the colored map.
Lemmy preview doesn’t care about that, you literally shared the grayscale version and called it colored.
Zoom in closer and you see the colour. Why are you so negative?
Not being negative, just telling you what I see. Also, you didn’t provide a color code, nor did you suggest phone users to zoom in.
Yay, I get more criticisms.
That’s why I said colour in the title and phone users already know they must zoom in on map data.
Dont take that personal, I enjoyed your post and its really not your fault ppl cant even read map descriptions.
Thx for posting <3

Also, why no actual color guide?
