Train routes
From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Main article: Railways
A train route is a relation that describes the route of a train (usually, in regular passenger service). Its members include the stations/stops served by the train (where it stops to pick up or drop off passengers) as well as the railways (either individual ways or railway routes) on which the train travels.

How to tag a train relation ?
| Key | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| type | route | |
| route | train | |
| ref | Reference | The number of the line e.g. IR 3114 |
| operator | operator | Name of the company that operates the route e.g. Deutsche Bahn AG, Connex, Interconnex usw. |
| name | Individual Name | Only if there is a special name of the route or line e.g. "Orient Express" "Hammersmith and City" (optional) |
| network | local/ regional network | Name (Abbr.) of the network e.g. BVG, RMV (optional) |
| wheelchair | yes / no / limited | If the trains on the route are equipped with ramps or elevators for wheelchairs. Note that even if the trains are that the not all stations on the route may be suitable, or not all platforms may be accessible (optional) |
| colour | ex: red / #FFEEDD | If the railway route has an "official" colour, for example metro lines in some cities. (optional) |
Route relations could also be used to designate railway lines that are operated by one (perhaps more) train operators. Some examples can be found at Open Rail Map/NL.
