railway maps

Train route charts

Railway maps are visual representations of train routes and rail networks, showing stations, lines, and connections.

The most famous type is the schematic transit map, which sacrifices geographic accuracy for clarity—the London Underground map pioneered this approach.

Railway maps range from detailed topographic charts used by engineers to simplified passenger maps showing only what travelers need: Check the railway map to see where we change trains.
