[edit]General
[edit]- Come to a consensus on a standard railroad map style
- Identify articles about railroad companies and routes that lack maps (use the Mapneeded parameter of {{WikiProject Trains}})
- Identify articles that need updated maps or maps more specific to a previous time period (use Mapneeded and Mapdetails to describe the map updates that are required)
- Identify and categorize existing historical railroad maps
