North Rhine-Westphalia – interactive railway map. Mainline, regional and freight rail network — filterable by speed, electrification, track gauge and line usage.
North Rhine-Westphalia is also known as NRW or Nordrhein-Westfalen.
North Rhine-Westphalia – rail network drawn from data mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors, covering mainline railways, regional lines, commuter rail and freight corridors. Lines are colour-coded by rail type and filterable by maximum permitted speed, electrification system, track gauge and line usage. The map reveals the layered structure of the network: high-speed intercity spines, slower regional connectors, freight-only branches serving ports and industrial zones, and heritage lines preserved for tourism. Switch between filter modes to view the same railway infrastructure through a different lens — the same line that appears as a passenger main line in usage mode will show its permitted speed and electrification system in the other views.
North Rhine-Westphalia – 55,293 mapped railway segments, including 3,298 tram segments, 74 metro segments, 3,784 light rail segments and 440 narrow gauge segments — one of the largest rail networks globally. Also mapped: 1,266 high-speed railway segments and 27,425 electrified segments.
