Railway map of China, with colored lines showing high-speed rail. At the beginning of 2007, China had zero kilometers of high-speed rail

You can see railways worldwide on OpenRailwayMap
If you switch to "Max speeds" map style, you can see the allowed maximum speed on each track.
Data is from OpenStreetMap, so if you think something is missing you can contribute: https://learnosm.org
Yes it’s a Reddit link, but I know consider Reddit as a glorified Imgur. Also it avoids consuming storage on the Lemmy servers.
If someone wants to upload it to catbox.moe or Imgur, feel free to comment with the link, I’ll update it

  This is very based, you're both posting content on Lemmy and exploiting Reddit servers
I was curious, why the West is so empty.
Seems like the whole South West is just the Tibetan Plateau, a widespread mountain range north of the Himalaya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_Plateau
And the loop all the way in the West, that seems to be on the outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taklamakan_Desert
