    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!<p>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.

    Interesting! It&#x27;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

      The last few days I have been working on a new verification system. I hope to be able to add many more routes through this system, so that World Train Map can have high quality routes that are verified.

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

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openrailwaymap.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openrailwaymap.org&#x2F;</a> is much more comprehensive. It&#x27;s open street map data, but filtered for railway infrastructure.

      World Train Map is, by design, a curated map of interesting passenger trains, not a comprehensive map.<p>The problem with every comprehensive map I&#x27;ve seen is that they are way <i>too</i> comprehensive. If you look at Congo on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openrailwaymap.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openrailwaymap.org&#x2F;</a>, you might assume the country has a functional passenger railway network, when almost most lines shown were for bulk cargo only, fell into disrepair in the 1960s and certainly haven&#x27;t had passenger services in decades if ever. Even for first world places like Australia there are tons of supposedly &quot;main lines&quot; listed that are nothing of the sort.
