Train Route Atlas

Twelve legendary routes

Drag to spin the globe. Click a route on the map or in the list; filter by category to compare like with like.

Every route is a hand-drawn GeoJSON LineString through its major stops, draped over a 3D globe and styled entirely in your browser — no server does any GIS. Rendering by MapLibre GL JS (5.6.1, self-hosted) with its globe projection, tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors. Route specs are approximate and drawn from public timetables. The recipe for scaling this to hundreds of routes with real track geometry lives in the repo at docs/train-route-maps.md.
