The world's passenger railways: 1,166 notable train routes on one map

Reply in thread

The problem is that not all of the lines on OpenRailwayMap are currently having passenger traffic. Perfect example of that is Albania, where they had railways during communism, but it is discontinued at the moment and will be for many years.

This project tries something else. To be factual and easy to use for the average user at the same time. The information displayed on Railrouter is a bit different, because the average user want to see different type of information.

I understand that curated data is not optimal, but I do not have a community behind me and I do not expect it either. Therefore, it will be a long time before it will be up to a similar standard to OpenRailwayMap. For someone like me, I will rather use Railrouter because it is just simpler and not to technical. I am not trying to compete against OpenRailwayMap.

Instead whenever someone is critical on forums or in the internet general, I will verify the feedback and then implement it where the user will be cited as well. Corrections log: https://trainrouter.com/corrections/

How did you decide which ones were notable?:

  • Whichever one is easy to get on the map, more will come afterwards:)

Why didn’t you include these two insignificant villages near where I live that nobody else has heard of:

  • Have not added all yet but hopefully soon. I am working on to have branch lines as well since I want to have all, all, all, all passenger lines which is running at the moment.

Where was it filmed? I put every recorded filming location on one map

Yes for the moment because Bollywood is not for the global audience, although there are movies which came from India that are globally recognizable. Even if I hate many parts of Hollywood, it is globally recognized. Hence, I start with Hollywood.

I working on finding a good solution for that, because there are many globally recognizable movies, series and video games that are currently missing on the map.
