Map: Basin & Range SETUP
Mapper: Choobacca & Big Papa
Basin & Range is a truly awesome map so awesome that it is the only map on this site not to use the SAM format. Instead it uses an installer, two actually one is the map and the second is a patch. The 7-zip file included in this post contains four files, all four must be uncompressed into the same folder. Just like with a SAM you must have the “My Games/Sid Meiers Railroads!” folder empty. Once you have done these steps simply luanch the exes and install the map. Note a DOS window will open, do not be alarmed this is simply the program for extracting the files.

This is one of the first Custom maps, which defined many (most) of the future mapmaking. The trains, traincars, ports, transfer stations are still widely used.
Also the scenario requirements added a new dimension to the game, that the original Firaxis design is lacking.
Yes I aggree, this map is one that everyone should play. It introduced so much to moodding, (if I remember right) it was the first to use custom buildings(the port) and custom trains.
i wish someone can make an extension of this map, with more cities
