In Italy there are competing fast trains on the same track, all with a red color. With people on the station selling tickets to only one of them. ... So I asked them for the first train from Vincenza to Milan at 13:30... That is 14:44...I bought the 14:44 ticket from "Italo". Then found out there was a "Trenitalia" at 14:04! ... Sorry mister.. this was OUR first train..not THE first train.

The icons being tiny pictures of the actual trains is cute, but makes the map quite confusing to look at!
Edit: I just noticed that the marker style changes if I choose something other than "Equipment" from the map style dropdown, selecting "driving/stationary" certainly makes it a lot more readable.
Transport tycoon in the Netherlands is played by 4 or 5 competitors. You can see make out their coloring and general area of operation on this map too.
Fun fact: In the Netherlands you have to make sure you 'checkin' to the right transportation company, some stations have 3 checkin posts. Very annoying and embarrassing and error prone.
