Railway routes used for regular transportation of goods and passengers. Railway yards, siding railways are allowed if they are landmarks and are classified as branch lines. They are usually generalized (not all the tracks have to be portrayed). Specific lines reaching harbour or industrial zone can be portrayed and are also classified as branch lines. The length selection is min. 1600 meters. Metro lines (= underground urban railways), tramlines or streetcar lines inside city areas are excluded. Railways are portrayed by one line regardless the number of tracks.This dataset is provided by Tailte Éireann
