RailsMaps
About RailsMaps
See how the rail network is built. RailsMaps maps railway, metro and tram lines in 1,150+ regions (countries, states, provinces, cities): max speeds, lines under construction, proposed routes, disused and abandoned lines, stations, level crossings, bridges and tunnels, electrification and track gauge.
It's an infrastructure map, not a journey planner. Pick a region and you get every line, from national main lines to city trams, downloadable for offline use.

INFRASTRUCTURE MAP MODES
• Max speed: lines colored by permitted speed
• Electrification: electrified lines by system and voltage (AC and DC)
• Track gauge: standard, broad, narrow and mixed
• Usage: main lines, branch lines, industrial, heritage and military
• High-speed: dedicated high-speed lines and upgraded fast corridors
• Stations and halts
• Level crossings, classified by safety level
• Under construction: lines and extensions being built
• Proposed: planned and approved future lines
• Historical: disused and abandoned railways
Available map modes depend on the region and rail type.
EVERY RAIL TYPE
• Mainline railways, metro (subway / underground), tram, light rail, narrow gauge, monorail, funicular and miniature railways
TAP FOR DETAILS
• Tap any line or station for speed, gauge, electrification, usage and Wikipedia info
WORKS OFFLINE
• Download a region once, then use it with no connection
• Offline packs are updated weekly
• Detail scales with region size: city packs zoom in further than country packs, and you see the zoom range before you download
• Strict offline mode: the app uses only your downloaded packs and makes no network requests
• Wi-Fi-only downloads and per-region storage control
MAKE IT YOURS
• Built-in presets: Default and FreakMaps (infrastructure-style colors)
• Custom presets: set rail line colors, widths and opacity
• Save up to 20 presets, with separate colors for light and dark maps

SEE WHERE YOU ARE (OPTIONAL)
