rail map

Train route chart

A rail map is a diagram showing train routes and stations within a transit system or region.

Unlike street maps, rail maps often distort geography to emphasize connections and transfer points: The London Tube map is a design classic.

Rail maps help riders navigate subway systems, commuter lines, and intercity networks.
