Which maps show railways?
The FallingRain and MSN maps are best at showing railways.

For example at Sirajganj‎.

But these maps are a few years out of date and do not show the newly built Jamuna bridge which connects Sirajganj‎ and Tangail

This map is definitely incorrect ... there has always been a rail link to Rajshahi and Dhaka, though interrupted by the Jamuna River before the construction of the bridge (travelers would switch trains and cross river using a ferry). --Ragib (talk) 07:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The Jamuna bridge was finished in 2003, but is still not shown on the above maps 5 years later!! Tabletop (talk) 07:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The writing on That map is also hard to read. Also the map should be given a grid reference A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H from left to right and

from top to bottom so that you can refer to items on the map more easily. Tabletop (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Reasons for separate "Railway stations in X" files.

 * If the file gets too big, Wiki asks you to see if you can split it.


 * The Transport in X and Railway stations in X get changed at different rates, and you tend to mix these different changes in the History files.


 * Should the Transport in X file be completely replaced by a new version from the CIA, then all the Railway stations in X data will be lost. Safer to keep railway station data in a separate file.


 * Many countries have a Railway stations in X, so why not match the precident.


 * Railway stations in X are trying to list stations in line order, which is more challanging than listing them in alphabetical order. This is harder to do, and means that Railway stations in X is less complete and more full of inaccuracies than the parent Transport in X file.  It is better therefore to separate the Railway stations in X data into a separate file.  It does not help that railways on maps are often hard to read.  The Railway stations in X file might be regarded as a bit of a sandbox file.


 * Railways are much more affected by connectivity - or lack thereof - than other modes of transport, which is why the Railway stations in X files are so important. Maps are often hard to read: either too big a scale to show the detail, or too small a scale to see where you are.

Official Map unreadable
Since official BR map has unreadable legend, and many unreadble station names, it will be necessary use other maps which are inadequate in other ways.

So other maps are still necessary for more complete coverage.


 * UN Map 2004


 * UNHCR Atlas Map 2008


 * Rail route map - Does not show dual gauge or border stations

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
