> Truly remote
This is really a perspective thing, but I doubt many are going to circle 10+ KM just to catch a train. Most are just going to use their car for the whole way.

I feel like the dark blue spot north of Trier should have some train station in Luxembourg or Belgium that is actually closer than the nearest German one. Is there a way to check that?

Nice visualization! If would be cool to also visualize how "connected" one would be from those stations. Most of those stations are regional stations where only local trains run. It would be nice to see how long it would take to get from any point on the map to, say, the next city with >1M citizens, or a weighted average of getting to three such cities.

another posting here a few months ago was of the rail systems in Europe, and Germany had the most (a real web) and the poster said it was because railroads in Germany were government-built for their big iron industry and construction make work projects in the late 1800s

Pretty cool!
Truly remote areas just don't seem to exist in Middle Europe.
Now if only the pricing of train rides were competitive...
Also, welcome back to reddit?!
