When zoomed out past a configurable threshold (default 40%), car icons are hidden and only locomotive icons remain. Locomotives scale up automatically so they stay easy to spot. A separate option hides MU trailing units, keeping just the lead locomotive per consist. A blinking red EOTD dot marks the rear of each consist, giving you a quick sense of train length without cluttering the map with car icons. Each car icon on the map is a live Canvas element. On a large session with many cars visible, the rendering cost adds up - testing showed a **3-12 FPS improvement** when zoomed out over a busy portion of the map with culling enabled.
