I'll edit and put it in the body too. Good call.

Important to note the key in the bottom left. The green lines aren't trains, they're generally bus routes that Amtrak coordinates with.

So the grid is basically the same but most of the stations are gone.

The “after” pic isn’t showing all the stations.

The other difference is some routes get 2 trains a day and it probably cost $5k to go cross country

2 trains a day would be an improvement for many routes, a lot are 1 train a day or 3 trains a week.
