The supplied crayons being less than wonderful, what do people use for drawing lines that's both safe and effective?

We've been able to do okay with the crayons we have (except certain colors, like yellow in particular, are terrible); however, that may be because the crayons from earlier editions are better than what Mayfair is buying these days.

You could try whiteboard dry-erase markers, although Mayfair advises against it. They do make a thin-tip type. Test your markers on a tiny corner on the edge first, though. And make sure you clean the board thoroughly after the game.

Lisa and I have played literally hundreds of games of the EB-family games. Currently we're really enjoying India Rails.

I've played with dry-erase markers. You have to be careful with them because some of them don't erase properly. There's a blue phantom line between Chicago and New York in one friend's copy of the game.

I've been spending way too much time playing EB player, which is an (authorized) electronic version of the game.
