rail maps
Train route charts
Rail maps are diagrams showing train routes, stations, and connections within a transit system.
The most famous example, the London Underground map, established conventions now used worldwide: simplified geometry, color-coded lines, and stations as evenly spaced dots regardless of actual distance.
I grabbed a rail map to figure out which line goes to the airport.
