Update 6: Riverbrook
Welcome to the city of Riverbrook! Most of the people barely make enough money to support their families, and most people are rough, gruff factory workers, so don't pick a fight with anyone, or show off anything shiny. 
Also, some good news. East of Riverbrook, a new city has been developing....we'll see it soon enough. It's brought much more money to Mitron, as well as attracted people to move here and many businesses and corporations have decided to come to Mitron as well. So, the highway system is back online! Well, not really. They're completing HWY-3 right now, which goes through Riverbrook, as seen. All previous sections of the National Highway System will be upgraded to code. However, no new highway will be built for now. 
As I was telling you, Riverbrook is full of slums. Most of the people can't afford to keep their houses looking nice, so many homes are rundown and yards are dry and dead. However, some streets have people that make slightly more money, and as such they have nicer homes and yards.
Some more shots of homes south of town center.
The small town center. Most of the stores are manned by high schoolers, college dropouts and anyone else who's desperate for a job. 
Riverbrook is home to lots and lots of industry. Factories populate this area north of the highway. A couple of power plants also provide power for the city.
Here's a small little brook. Two rail lines cross over it (one farther north) as well as HWY-3. This is on the east side of the town center. On the west side is the river, which is why this city is named Riverbrook. Get it?
The brook ends here, in a small little lake. Sadly, because of it's proximity to the polluting factories, you can't swim or fish in it. In fact, most people stay away from it!
On the west of the river are more farms. I know, you just can't get away from them!
No overview today, for some reason some of the buildings weren't generating at the farthest zoom level, and I figured this update was overdue. :'( Sorry!

@Forthwall: Thanks! It helps to see all the parts of the city in one big picture 
@monomass: Thanks, I spent a lot of time working on the railyard. I also had about 5 tries before I settled on this. And go Tribe!
@emperordaniel: No, I'm not going to use that It'd be too expensive for the country, plus we don't run electric locomotives...yet
@clockcannon: Just make sure you don't copy everything exactly. Use the ideas, don't make an exact recreation 
And have fun with it!
