railway map

Train route chart

A railway map shows train routes and stations across a region, with lines indicating tracks and dots or symbols marking stops.

Unlike geographic maps, railway maps often distort distances and directions to show connections more clearly—the London Underground map being the famous example.

I checked the railway map to see if we needed to change trains.
