CartoCSS port of the OpenRailwayMap styles, originally written in MapCSS

OpenRailwayMap CartoCSS Map Styles

This is a port of the OpenRailwayMap Infrastructure map style from MapCSS to CartoCSS to be able to use Mapnik to render maps.

Differences to the MapCSS Style

There are a couple of smaller and larger differences to the MapCSS style:

• The rendering of station labels is more sophisticated because Osm2pgsql. Stations are ranked by their importance. The importance is defined by the number of route relations a station and its platforms and stop position nodes belong to. Matching from stops and platforms to stations is based on names and spatial proximity. Stop area relations (type=public_transport
  • public_transport=stop_area are not used). The matching is sensitive to differences in spelling.
• Icons (radio towers, level crossings) have a higher priority than most labels.
• The map style uses the Noto Sans font.
• Railway lines have a white halo to improve visibility on colourful background maps.
