Inspired by koth_grid and train maps everywhere (though I was playing ctf_revamp when the idea struck)

One look at the screenshot is all you should need to grasp the severity of the havoc contained within.

No, you may not have or use the sandwich car. I may however release the easily re-skined train car model and the GRN skin along with a "blank" skin for editing.

Played it with bots.. was pretty insane , probably too much so!
Nice work on the train timings. Like the final explosion crash thing as well, but you may want to add one of those forced specatator cams after the rounds finished, I got mushed in the middle and couldn't see what the train wreckage looked like!
