Slope is speed
A more vertical line covers more of the route in less time. A nearly horizontal line advances slowly.
The passenger-train working timetable
A day on the rails
Every line is a train. Time runs left to right; the route, top to bottom. A whole day of railway movement becomes one image.

Choose a corridor and a day
Services using only part of a corridor are included. The graph therefore shows how every section is used, from local trains to end-to-end services.
The default graph shows 240 scheduled movements on the Bucharest North–Brașov corridor on Thursday, 30 July 2026. The interactive edition lets readers choose a train and inspect its calls.

The grammar of the image
How to read it
Horizontal means stopped
When a line moves sideways at a station level, the train is standing. The segment's length is the dwell time.
A crossing is a meeting
Where two lines intersect, two trains are scheduled at the same point of the corridor at the same time.
What the chosen day says
Three calculated observations
The measurements are recalculated for the current corridor, date and filters.
The interactive edition calculates observations from the chosen corridor, date and filters.
Romania by corridor
Other lines to open
The catalogue covers main lines, regional branches and cross-border links. Movement counts are recalculated for the selected date.
Epistemic contract
What is exact and what is approximate
Times, calls, categories, operators and service calendars come from the planned 2025–2026 annual timetable. Calendar exceptions are applied date by date, and trains continuing past midnight are assigned to the calendar day on which they appear in the graph.
The vertical axis does not reproduce official CFR kilometrage. Position is accumulated from the coordinates of scheduled calling points along a railway path inferred from GTFS sequences. The distances are adequate for the visual geometry but must not be treated as technical kilometrage.
156 services marked as replacement buses are excluded. Freight, engineering trains, works, delays and operational positions are absent. Movement between two published calls is linearly interpolated.
Active edition for the 2025–2026 timetable, valid through 12 December 2026. The atlas will update when the next annual timetable is published and retain this edition as an archive.
