I am going to sleep now because it is pretty late in Norway and I can sense that I will have a very long work day tomorrow. It is crazy to see that World Train Map is on the front page. Holy shit!

Please give feedback meanwhile because it helps the site a lot. I want to add both many more routes and have a well functioning verification system. I hope that the map is giving all of you an enjoyable experience.

Nice work!

But missing the iconic Ghan in Australia https://digital-classroom.nma.gov.au/images/route-taken-ghan

Amazing. Also super interesting to see that when you filter for high speed rail it’s basically Japan, China and Europe. America (north and south), Africa - basically the rest of the world is in dark ages

https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ is much more comprehensive. It's open street map data, but filtered for railway infrastructure.

Interesting! It's definitely not complete, quite a few reasonably common passenger routes in Europe I know are missing. But a fun idea, one I would love to play around with more were it more complete

This is very cool! Out of curiosity, where are you getting the data from?
