  1. Kawashima City Traffic

    In this update I'd like to show you one of my best traffic networks (yes I'm proud of it :angel::LOL:). The railways are only eye candy of course, but I'd like to think that, combined with a good bus network, it should be enough for a city like this...


    Let's start with Kawashima Main Station 川島市中央駅 200-1.jpg

    When it first was built, it was not exactly in the middle of the city. The dense historic center should have remained intact, so the station was constructed just east of the center. Today, however, the highest buildings of Kawashima can be found next to the station building. You can also see the freight traffic bypass in the foreground. This way, freight trains don't need to run through the passenger station. 200-2.jpg

    East of the station (here in the background) is the city rail yard... 200-3.jpg

    You may have seen the statue of the "loyal lion" of Kawashima in the media section :LOL: 200-5.jpg

    The rail tracks leading to the main station... 200-7.jpg

    This is Kawashima Castle Station, the easiest way to get to the famous sight: 201-1.jpg

    There are also small stations in the industrial areas... here Saiyusho Station 製油所駅 201-2.jpg

    The Taiyama Station 平山駅 is in the northern part of the city, beyond the river: 201-3.jpg

    The port island of Maishima has a little stop as well, as many workers are commuting here every day... 201-4.jpg

    Momodani Station 桃谷駅 is also in the northern part... 201-5.jpg

    This one is right next to Kawashima University: 川島大学駅 201-6.jpg

    Railway bridges can be seen throughout the city... 201-7.jpg

    This is the city's largest railway yard: 202-0.jpg

    Maishima Island hosts the biggest container port in the region... 203-1.jpg

    Kawashima Airport is rather small and mainly used for domestic travel... 204-1.jpg

    Of course, there is a golf course at the airport... 204-5.jpg

    Another big network are the highways leading to and through the city: here the main access road from the west... 205-0.jpg

    The approach from the east: 205-3.jpg

    A big highway bridge crosses the valley of Midoridani: 205-4.jpg

    Seeing this, an overview would have been helpful. I will create and edit this in the next few days ;)

    EDIT: here we go:
