Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
{{Infobox rail line}} is used for railway lines, i.e. the physical trackage between two or more places; however, this template is also sometimes used on articles about both a company and a line (e.g. Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway). It has no mandatory parameters. {{Infobox rail}} is used to create an infobox for articles about railway companies; i.e. the owner or operating entity. For rail services {{Infobox rail service}} is used.
