Unlocked more data today, and from an unusual place: a single, century-old map we found online — the Palestine Railways “Diagram of Routes,” 1925. Here’s how one image became dozens of new, fully-sourced stations and routes. levantrain.net/blog/how-we-... #middleeast #railway #claude #lovable

What if you could travel the Middle East by train? Imagine boarding at the pyramids of Giza and stepping off on the beaches of Beirut — breakfast in Egypt, dinner in Lebanon! levantrain.net #railway #middleeast #egypt #lebanon #peacebuilding #imagination

Major map update! We now catalogue 200+ historic railway stations and 20+ routes across the Levant region with increasing levels of accuracy/confidence: levantrain.net/map #middleeast #opendata #railway #peacebuilding

Beautiful article from 2021 by @aliciamedina.bsky.social about the history of rail in Lebanon and Syria (and a few dreamers who want to bring it back)! syriauntold.com/2021/10/29/t... #railway #lebanon #syria

Today has been a fun day! Check out Levantrain map v0.0.2 on uMap showing a first selection of 80+ historic railway stations across the Middle East. Data on GitHub and open source! umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/levan...

We’re finally on GitHub, first project is the crowdsourced map of historic railway stations and routes. github.com/Levantrain/
