This interactive map collects the train lines of the world

OpenRailwayMap, a real treasure for lovers of traveling on rails

If Sheldon Cooper wasn't a fictional character and could access right now Traveler.es , he would let out a nervous, breathy laugh of his own upon discovering **OpenRailwayMap, the website that brings together train lines from all over the world on a single map.**

This interactive map allows us to explore different train lines and, depending on the viewing option we choose, access information related to its infrastructures (to see the lines depending on the type of train that runs through them) , their maximum speed or the type of signaling that regulates them.

To move around the map, just click on the screen and drag the cursor. Use the arrows '+' and '- ' to zoom in or out to the place in the world that you want to see in detail.

If you have a specific station in mind, you can always use the left finder To find it.

OpenRailwayMap is a collaborative project developed with **OpenStreetMap technology**, which allows the creation of free and editable maps based on the information provided by users.

The one that concerns us began to take shape in December 2011 and is available online since mid-2013. Since then it has been updated with the contributions made by Internet users.

You can consult it in detail and entertain yourself traveling the world on rails through its website.
