How a Train Station TRANSFORMED a Small Town in Cities Skylines!

In this episode we continue our countryside/small-town vibes theme, giving our sleepy suburb of Danton a massive overhaul! Poor little Danton (which is actually quite well-off) has been a bit of a laughingstock of the series for a while now, where the only thing of notice to highlight has been the "gas station with 4 employees". Not anymore! As several of you have also pointed out, Danton is located right next to the train line that connects the region, so it's due time Danton gets its own Train Station!
Danton as a suburb was established in the 1930s, and it wasn't until 1970/80's that the Train Station was built - the construction of the station resulted in the development of new commercial enterprises, businesses, and shops right next to the station, effectively creation two small commercial centers in Danton!

- What's the rationale behind this project:
What happens if a washed-up-used-to-be-YouTuber gathers a bunch of "generic" looking assets (though mostly inspired by Australian / Canadian cityscapes) with the hopes of creating a Cities: Skylines region full of towns and cities that both look realistic and are inspired by Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, while at the same time don't really replicate any one particular style? No idea, let's find out.

Join me in this Cities: Skylines modded gameplay / let's play / timelapse series as we expand the region, and build new infrastructure, highways, public transit, industrial pockets, NIMBY-neighbourhoods, sprawling suburbs and bustling downtowns. And of course, use tress excessively to cover up any imperfections!
