Alpen. But it’s flat. I’m confused. #CrossBorderRail

#CrossBorderRail 2026 Spring Tour

Tours in Spring 2026.Each day of the project is a Layer in the map - these should be displayed by default, or if not click the three layered diamonds icon "Open browser" to the left side of the map.The icons are all for borders, roughly coloured to differentiate the borders. A cross through a track means NO TRAINS CAN RUN. A cross through trains but not track means TRAINS CAN RUN BUT NO PASSENGER TRAINS. And TRAIN AND TRACK (no crosses) means there is a passenger service.

There was some ICE in between. But now it’s this #CrossBorderRail
