Atlas tools (7)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsatlas_statsFreeOne-call snapshot of what the World Train Map atlas covers: total route count, countries, combined length in km, the category list, number of city-pair guides, data snapshot date, and direct URLs to the main browse pages (world map, all routes, Europe/USA maps, night trains, scenic, by-country, city-to-city). Takes no parameters. Call it to learn what this server can answer, to cite dataset totals, or to link a browse page — it returns no individual routes; use search_routes or famous_routes for those.
city_pairFreeJourney facts between two cities (European coverage): fastest and typical duration, whether direct trains run, fewest changes, operators and the guide URL — plus legendary atlas routes on that corridor. Direction-insensitive. Figures are sampled from public schedule data, not live times — treat as planning estimates. An uncovered pair returns an error with a search_routes tip.
famous_routesFreeThe world's most famous train journeys in World Train Map's renown order (rank 1 = most famous: Trans-Siberian, Glacier Express, Orient Express lineage, Shinkansen…), as compact facts with id and URL per route. Best first call for bucket-list and "greatest train trips" questions; use search_routes to find something specific, get_route for full detail on one route.
get_routeFreeFull record for one atlas route by exact id: distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, rolling stock, opening year, ridership, story, on-route sights, photo and page URL, plus country-hub links. An unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions instead of failing. Use search_routes first when you only have a name or city.
night_trainsFreeSleeper routes from the atlas, sorted by renown — all of them by default, or only those starting or ending in a given city — with the per-city night-train guide URL when one exists. Use for overnight and sleeper questions; city_pair for concrete A-to-B times; search_routes for other route categories.
routes_in_countryFreeEvery atlas route crossing one country, sorted by renown, plus that country's worldtrainmap.com hub URL when it exists. An unrecognised country returns an error, not an empty list. Use for "trains in X" questions; use search_routes to combine a country with text or category filters, night_trains for sleepers only.
search_routesFreeFree-text search over every route in the World Train Map atlas — matches route name, cities, train name, operator and countries, with optional category/country filters. Accent-insensitive; every word of the query must match. Returns compact per-route facts with id and worldtrainmap.com URL, sorted by renown with route-name matches first; with no query it lists the whole atlas by renown. Use get_route with a returned id for full detail, famous_routes for a ready-made top list, city_pair for A-to-B journey times.

What the publisher says

World Train Map Atlas — the world's legendary train routes, as open data
961 train routes · 118 countries · ≈ 432,800 km of route, every route with its key facts and its geometry, from worldtrainmap.com, the interactive world railway map.
High-speed spines (Eurostar, TGV, Shinkansen, AVE), classic long-distance runs (Trans-Siberian, California Zephyr), night trains (Nightjet, the Ghan) and the scenic lines people fly in just to ride (Glacier Express, Bernina Express, the Jacobite).

The site was renamed. It was TrainRouter at trainrouter.com until 11 August 2026 and is now World Train Map at worldtrainmap.com. The old domain redirects path for path, so old links still work, and https://trainrouter.com/mcp still answers directly rather than redirecting, because JSON-RPC clients do not follow redirects. Nothing you already had configured has broken. The repository, the Zenodo DOI and the MCP registry name (com.trainrouter/atlas) keep their old identifiers on purpose: renaming them would break more than it would tidy.
Which version holds what
Several different route counts are in circulation for this atlas, so here is the honest map of them.
Why the download is behind the site, and it is deliberate. Since late July the route geometry has been progressively re-traced from OpenStreetMap railway relations, which makes it a derivative of OSM data under ODbL, while this package is licensed CC BY 4.0 throughout. Publishing a refresh before the licence is split per route would ship a licence violation with our name on it, so the exporter is blocked until that work lands. See Sources, accuracy & provenance below. If you want something fresher than the July cut without waiting, the MCP server is the closest available.
