Here are my recommended projects, blogs and other resources to explore railways and cycling.


Websites and blogs

Video

  • [in French] Altis play (website, YouTube channel), a channel dedicated to urban planning with a focus on cycling infrastructure.

Maps

Exploring the world is more fun with maps!

  • OpenRailwayMap, an interactive map of railway lines around the world, powered by OpenStreetMap data. It supports layers to display lines by maximal speed, electrification, signaling system, etc. A bit clunky on mobile but works well on my laptop.
  • OpenCycleMap, tuned to show cycling routes, water fountains, bicycle parking and other cycling amenities from OpenStreetMap.
  • The Railway History Map ( source code), aiming to show current and past railway lines. Currently in construction, with coverage of a dozen countries in Europe.
  • The Railway Routing tool by Pierre Bessac, which calculates the expected railway itinerary between two (or more) train stations.
