Today we visit the city of Byner. Yes, city. The population is currently 19,000. This is the largest city in Mitron so far, and there's some cool stuff to see.

Here's the CBD. As you can see it's quite large. A Tina's Grocery store has even been built. It's a chain of grocery stores from Folland, but it has spread to other countries in Euphemia. Right through the middle of town is Rt. 2 (E/W). It should become a very popular thoroughfare.

Here you can see some sprawling suburbs. These surround the central CBD.

As of now, funding for the national highway system is gone. It lost interest among the citizens. In all honesty it's not needed for such a small country, so the money is going to more important things. All construction has been put on hold. Routes are becoming more popular. There are talks among MDOT that even once more funding is allocated, they'll put the project on hold anyways, until it is needed.

Another shot of the halted construction. It's a shame, it really is, but it's best for the country. You can see the beginning of HWY-3 here.

On another note, the rail system in Mitron is on the other end of the spectrum from the highway system. It's a quick & easy way to travel from town to town, there are stops in every city (so far), and it's a lot cheaper than building a highway. Here you can see the Byner Railyard. It stores engines & passenger cars. With all the rail use they needed somewhere to store everything, and soon, so the railyard was built. There's sheds & maintenance, refueling stops, and plenty of sidings to store cars too.
