A map based on meet the sniper video. The map still has a lot of problems, I will be updating this thread whenever I release a newer version of my map. I did the sniper road from meet the sniper and I thought I might release it now since the sniper update is coming out soon.

Added HDR to the map.
Added more details to the blue team's spawn room.
Fixed a case where players would build sentry guns in the spawn room.

Clipped some buildings from preventing players to get on the roofs.
Reduced the filesize by 5MB.
Added a resupply locker to the red team's first spawn room.
Redid the ground in some places of the map.
Fixed the cart getting stuck.
Fixed some bad lighting shadows.
Fixed the tracks from going underground in some part of the map.

Added more details to the tunnel.
Added stairs to the 2nd red team's spawn.

Cool, though I think the yellow for the lines on the road are distracting to the eye. Maybe try a duller yellow to push it into the background.

I went through twice by myself, and found any issues that immediately were noticeable to me. I'm new to mapping, so I can't give advice on how to clean it up... but I really like your map! I feel at times it is a bit on the "large" scale, and can get a little boring. However, it has a great feel to it, and you've done a wonderful job detailing it already!

Hopefully this link works, it is pictures of all the issues I found with the map.

I realize it's lame when someone pops in, hits you with a semi-harsh critique and runs... but I'm hungry and I've read a lot of showcase entries today. The map name, need work... seriously. How about a specific railroad, or some item of railroad terminology instead? It's just so bland... though I suppose I'm not one to talk. :) Good luck.
