Looking for Indian Railways data

[Arjun Venkatraman]

I'm trying to map a set of participants from training workshops carried out by CGNet Swara, and provide a comparison to the penetration of the Indian Railways.

Does anyone know how I can get a layer in something like TileMill that represents the route map of the Indian Railways.

Apologies if this is off context, I know its more a mapping question, but a dataset for Indian Railways would be nice to have.

Cheers
Arjun

The Indian Railway network has been mapped comprehensively on openstreetmaps. You can download the latest dump here: [india-latest.shp.zip]

The railways stations will be in the points.shp but the coverage is not complete.

I had made this map with osm data a few months back. The black lines are railroads: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Geovisualization_of_places_and_river_systems_in_India.png
