Western Cape historical railway map with abandoned, disused and razed rail corridors. Explore former rail alignments and legacy railway infrastructure.

Western Cape historical railway infrastructure recorded by OpenStreetMap contributors, including abandoned lines (tracks largely removed from operation but often still traceable on the ground), disused lines (no regular rail service but physical infrastructure may remain) and razed lines (removed corridors preserved in mapping history). Useful for studying railway heritage, former industrial rail links and long-term network evolution.
