South Africa – interactive railway map. Mainline, regional and freight rail network — filterable by speed, electrification, track gauge and line usage.
South Africa – 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.
South Africa – 32,245 mapped railway segments, including 5 tram segments, 22 light rail segments and 285 narrow gauge segments — a major regional rail hub. Also mapped: 254 high-speed railway segments and 12,325 electrified segments.
