Railmap for Open Railway Map

out of all the other railroad apps I’ve used this one is the best! it shows the current and abandoned lines, which is so helpful with my interest in finding old rail beds and sights. has so many rail lines listed, so great!!

Trying to figure out train routes in Google maps by searching for station names was very time consuming. This app has done all of the hard work for you. Perfect for trainspotting or do planning that next Amtrak or European train vacation. Excellent app. Wish I could give it even more stars!

This is the best railway map available as an app or online. It is nice to see rail lines overlaid with ordinary maps or satellite photos. I like that the map shows track layout with all the sidings. Only annoyance is that you can’t search by location. The online version allows search by passenger station but that is pretty limited in the United States where large areas have no passenger trains. Of course you can slide the map around and zoom and there is a find my location zoom which is pretty useful. Coverage of abandoned lines is very good. My wish list (besides search): - An ability to measure rail miles between two points - listing railway operators on each line and color lines by operator. Would be nice to do this for historical railway companies as well. - listing railroad freight timetable locations - open street map background layer in app. Topi map overlay would by pretty cool though maybe difficult - data for line segments: freight traffic density, date built and abandoned if applicable and signal type
