Purpose

To show information about the world's railway electrification systems for the passenger railway network. Also to assist OpenStreetMap mappers when adding and correcting information. Typically a correctly tagged line with be tagged with electrified=no, electrified=contact_line (for overhead lines) or electrified=rail (for 3rd of 4rd rail systems). In addition the voltage=* tag and possibly also the frequency=* tag define the operating voltage. frequency=0 is used for DC systems.

The following lines are excluded: Freight lines usage=industrial / freight=*, tourist lines usage=tourism or tourism=*, service lines service=siding / yard / spur and ones without passengers: passenger=no

Showing the current passenger rail network in OpenStreetMap. Includes the mainline network (railway=rail), the subway and light_rail systems (railway=subway and railway=light_rail) and also funicular and tram systems (railway=funicular and railway=tram) but excludes all railway spurs (service=spur), industrial/military and tourism lines (usage=industrial/military/tourism) and also all sidings and yards (service=siding and service=yard).
