Hello everyone,
I just wanted to make it clear Sendero doesn't have rail/train stops all we
could do is possibly put in an option that would allow you to virtually
explore train tracks.  That is you would be allowed in virtual mode to turn
onto the train tracks and then go along the tracks stopping whenever the
tracks cross a street.  We don't have a database of the actual train stops.

Now if someone knows where we could possibly get Train stop information
Sendero will explore the possibility of obtaining those POIs and providing
them to you.
