Atlas-rail: geo-referenced database on high-speed

Atlas-Rail database, UIC Statistical Yearbook and the data that companies, operators
or agencies wish to provide enable a very wide range of map contents as well as other
supporting elements to illustrate the geographical reality of high-speed networks in the
world, continents or even on a smaller scale.

All this depending on the data availability and the required level of detail to be depicted
in the document.

The following are some examples of this cartographic tipology. They are shown from small
to large scale.
