A train route is a relation that describes the route of a train (usually, in regular passenger service). Its members include the stations/stops/platforms served by the train (where it stops to pick up or drop off passengers) as well as the railways on which the train travels.

How to tag a train relation

Key Example values Comment
typeroute(required)
routetrain(required)
public_transport:version1 / 2(required)
namefor PTv2 please use:
<vehicle type> <reference number>: <initial stop> => <terminal stop>		Prose description of route variant. <Vehicle type> should be identical to route=*. Example: Bus 201: Uitikon Waldegg, Bahnhof => Uitikon, Wängi (recommended)

Main article: Railways section 'Rendering'

Railway infrastructure (active tracks, stations) is "lightly rendered" by Standard (Carto). Data in route=train relations regarding passenger service is not. There exist some renderers, tools and websites to display such data.

United States225,0002016United_States/Railroads[2] Most US rail was entered from OSM-US' 2007 TIGER import. These data were rough, with no usage=* tags and incorrect name=* tags (TIGER name=* tags should be operator=* and name=* should contain "Subdivision" or "Line" name). These data improve with better name=* and usage=* tags, though there remains much work to do. Continuing efforts include collection of better-tagged rail elements into route=railway and route=train relations. Amtrak, passenger=national rail, is >99% done. Our Wiki offers guidelines to improve TIGER data, organizing at the state level. US railroads peaked near 409,000 km in 1914; as of 2016, there are about 225,000 km extant (some data put this as high as 293,564), leaving ~184,000 km of disused/abandoned/razed railroads in the US.
