Europe

These files map railroads across Europe. They are organized by country, with some having company-specific subdivisions within the file.

Some territories and borders in Europe are contested and may shift over time. Disputed territories are organized by general Western recognition at the time the files were constructed.

Blue links will allow you to download the zip files, which can be unzipped and opened in Google Earth.
