I know of US train lines this doesn’t display. This just looks like Amtrak’s rail lines.

I see commuter rail lines out of Chicago, Boston, and New York, at least.
Boston's commuter rails are currently being expanded, finishing work in 2030 if there are no delays.
Maybe it's the one that civil trains ride on?
If by civil you mean passenger trains, I know of train lines in NJ that are not represented
I would walk from my suburban home to the R5 in Philly. Take septa to 30th street. Septa out to Trenton. NJ Transit from Septa to Penn Station. Walk through the tunnels get the train over to Hoboken. The whole trip was like $20 one way. It was awesome even if it took longer than Amtrak. Could get to my sister's place with no car. It was pretty great!

Septas Network alone is awesome...
It’s a shame that the Path doesn’t go from Newark straight into Hoboken. Having to go into Manhattan just to cross the Hudson again is a bit of a hassle. I think you may be able to transfer in Jersey city come to think of it
This population density map will probably help explain the difference.
It helps explain some of the difference. Not quite correlation.
So many maps in pop culture trying to make a statements are really just population density maps.
All rails lead to Chicago.
"Fuck South Dakota and Wyoming"

Who are they going to serve? You could probably fit each of those state's populations on one train. /s
