User:AlisonW/Rail Icons


 * This page is substantially outdated now (2023) but remains in place for historic and reference reasons. Thank you to many other editors for picking up on this work and massively improving the coverage of rail/river/road/canal/etc icons! --AlisonW (talk) 20:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Rail icons are complicated. The coding is mostly the same across icon developers and languages, but not always. These two pages try to consolidate the main available icons (it used to be one page but mediawiki breaks on trying to cope with them all at once!) Note that these pages and tables are not in the main namespace due to their reliance on CSS, thus making them not browser-independent (a requirement for main namespace articles).
