RailsMaps is an innovative platform dedicated to visualizing rail infrastructure across the globe, focusing on over 600 regions utilizing OpenStreetMap data that is updated daily. Created by infrastructure enthusiast Bartłomiej Banasik, RailsMaps provides a comprehensive overview of various rail types, including mainline railways, metros, trams, light rail, narrow gauge, monorails, and funiculars. The platform stands out by offering users intricate insights into railway networks, allowing comparisons between countries and comprehensive views of network connectivity.

Users can interactively filter maps by parameters such as maximum speed, electrification systems, and construction status. RailsMaps also allows for customizable exports of map views, and a separate Export & Customisation Pass enables users to create tailored maps for commercial use. In addition to its rich web interface, RailsMaps offers a mobile app, ensuring that the same updated data is accessible on the go. For those interested in broader infrastructure, Bartłomiej Banasik created FreakMaps, which covers motorways and urban infrastructure.
