User:Seabhcan/RailMap

This is a project to make a map of the world's railway system. Gauge types should be color coded. Country areas should be proportional to km of railways. Borders show breaks of gauge. Disconnected national systems should be shown as islands. Please help collect data using Rail transport by country and other pages. Much of the information we have on connectedness of African systems is probably inaccurate or out of date. Please help update it.
