Kenneth and Shweta, students of Information and Interface Design at the National Institute of Design in Bangalore have designed the concept and created a visualization of the Indian railway networks using D3.

The Indian railways is one of the world’s largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 65,000 km (40,000 mi) and 7,500 stations. It transports more than 25 million passengers everyday. That makes it over 9 billion annually.

The visualization was created using a dataset, which can be found here. You can try out the prototype with around 40 stations, here.

He captured observations from the rendering and also mentions that, “there is a lot of improvement over the last decade”.

You can explore, fork and tinker around his code from the Github repository. The interactive demo can be found here.
