Railway Station Photos

Overview

• The Station Photos app is part of the collaborative project Railway-Stations.org, which aims to build a comprehensive photographic archive of railway stations worldwide.

• The platform depends on community contributions to fill gaps where station photos are still missing.

• Through the app, users can locate these stations, take pictures, and submit them to support the ongoing effort of documenting railway infrastructure.

Using the App

• The app allows you to view a map or list of stations, indicating which ones already have a photo and which do not.

• You can select a specific country to focus your search.

• Only countries with publicly available station data and permission for photography under "freedom of panorama" are shown.

• The search function, accessible via the magnifying glass icon on the start screen, enables a full-text search for any station by name or location.

Contributing Your Photos

• Under the menu item “Your Data,” you can define how you want to send your photos:

+ As a linked photographer, where your name or social media profile appears with your contribution.

+ Anonymously, if you prefer not to have your name displayed.

+ With a specific license, specifying whether the image can be used with or without attribution.

• If you choose to be linked, provide your nickname and a web link (for example, to your Twitter or other online profile).

• Registered users can upload photos directly through the app once logged in.

Additional Features

• The “Station Map” menu item helps plan routes or bike tours, showing stations along your itinerary that still need photos.

• The map can now display both stations with existing photos and those without; users can filter what they wish to see.

• You can activate notifications so the app alerts you when you are near a station that still requires a photo.

Purpose and Community Impact

• By contributing through the Station Photos app, railway enthusiasts, travelers, and photographers work together to preserve visual records of railway stations for public use and historical reference.

FAQ

Q: How does the app collect photos of railway stations?

Q: Do I need to create an account to submit photos?

A: While anyone can explore the map and station list without logging in, registered users gain access to upload photos directly through the app. Registration ensures proper crediting and allows you to manage your submissions.

A: Yes. Under the “Your Data” menu, you can decide to be credited as a linked photographer—showing your name or social profile—or remain anonymous. The choice is completely up to you.
