A German-language tool for mapping railway sections from Excel exports and downloading the result as a PDF.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.
For
Railway users working with route-section Excel exports
Worth noticing
The page explicitly warns that calculated paths are possible rail-network routes, not confirmation of the route actually operated.

Field notes

The page describes a browser-side Excel import that reads route codes from column F and place names from column G, then matches them against operating-point codes. Users can review unresolved locations, calculate a possible path over the rail network, and download a map PDF. Coverage is stated as Germany and Austria, including cross-border sections; the site cautions that the calculated path does not confirm the route actually operated.
