How this line was checked

  • Line drawn from OpenStreetMap relation 10322759: the same nodes OpenStreetMap holds for this railway, thinned to within 31 m of them
  • Checked against OpenStreetMap: the whole line lies on real track, a median 10 m from it
  • The operator publishes this line's timetable: the railway’s own site, a place to look it up, not a check of our drawing
  • Wikipedia has an article for this line
