Playing with friends in a large region however on some where the train tracks connect under a bridge which is out side of my influence they are not connected. Is this a glitch? As it is not connected to the bridge and there for people can't use the train to come or go from city's, which is a HUGE issue with development so people can come to my city to work and I can go to there's. This might be a random world glitch when zones are made but its one that causes a lot of trouble.Anyone else having this issue?

+1, please fix, retroactively, been playing this region (Discovery Delta) a long while now, and suddenly bumping into this problem, 10 cities in...It just flaws my entire initial plan, because I cannot trust the information you give me, even on basic map descriptions!!!I can't stand these basic design flaws in a off-the-shelf, full-priced product!! Cities and entire regions gone due to corrupt DRM saves, servers popping off and on, resulting in having to redo what I have just spent the last couple of hours building... Great game Maxis, have always loved you and your city builder, but if this doesn't get better real fast, there are much, much better ways to be entertained in today's market.I can deal with the online trouble, any gamer has some sort of understanding of the difficulties in anticipating the server demands during launch of any new title. The constant patching, although questionable quantity on a end-product, at least shows that you guys are working hard to fix, what should have been in working order to begin with.Thanks for the free game. Just too bad, I really felt like playing SimCity.

Well, I came here looking for a fix, but it appears I'm just going to have to start again seeing as this region is bugged. Huckleberry/ Sawyers crossing trains not connecting.Reminds me why I stopped playing ☹️

Some cities do not have train access just as some do have water access, when you claim a city you can see if it has these connections next to the popup where it shows the resources the city has on the little bar charts it will have a "dark black bold" train track and boat (connected) or it will be greyed-out "ghosted" (does not connect). In other words if it does not reach into your borders you cannot connect to it, and it is one of the challenges of your city location. (usually the trade off is more of some resource)

Might need to explain more into detail, this areas shows as having water and train access, there are tracks leading into my area so I can drop a train station, the issue is no trains come to it and the adviser gets buggy giving me a warning then nothing every 30 sec saying no trains coming. I followed the train lines to the bridge which is out side of my influence and I can see that the tracks are not connecting to where the bridge line is for trains to come.

So...let me get this straight...out in the region the tracks aren't connected, which means trains never come to your city. Right?

Hi, just to say something:
I am having the exact same issue, train track leads to a bridge outside my territory, gui says that they are connected but assistant is bugging on and on saying that they are not.
Don't know what to do about it ☹️

Yes, exact same problem! I have not had a single train visit my city no matter what I do. It is this same city, Huckleberry Island in the Discovery Delta.
I even tried to tell myself it didn't matter, but it must. Not a SINGLE train. Yup, definitely broken.

Hi there,
same area, same issue. Train is not working. Same issue in the neighbouring zone on the other side of the bridge.

Yep, the Huckleberry Island map, the rail connection is broken.
Nobody play tested this map internally, it would seem.
If only we had debug mode available, we could fix it in seconds! Hah.

One of the regions I"m playing now shows that all cities have rail access, before you claim it, yet 2 of the 5 cities do not actually have rail access. This causes the game to constantly remind me that I should add a passender train station, and other rail related suggestions.
