OpenRailwayMap Vertical Layers Style for Turnout (1.19 Beta)
ORM Vertical Layers
A map stylesheet that draws real-world railways coloured by type and separated by
their vertical layer — so tunnels, ground-level track, and elevated viaducts each
become their own toggleable layer.
What it does
- Hue = track type, using OpenRailwayMap’s own palette:
- Heavy rail — orange
- Tram — magenta
- Metro / subway — blue
- Light rail — green
- Monorail — teal
- Narrow gauge — yellow-green
- Funicular — dusty red
- Lightness = height — deeper levels render darker, higher levels lighter.
- Tunnels are dashed; bridges and viaducts are drawn with a casing.
- Each vertical level is a separate vector layer (Ground, Underground1…Underground5,
Elevated1…Elevated5) that you can show or hide independently in the map source panel.
How to use
- Subscribe and enable this mod.
- In Turnout, select an area and generate the rail layers — it serves a vector-tile
source and gives you a TileJSON URL. - Add that URL to NIMBY Rails as a map source.
- Toggle individual height layers on and off from that source’s layer list.
Requires the Turnout companion app
This mod only provides the styling. The railway data comes from Turnout, which
builds an OpenStreetMap-derived vector-tile source for your selected area — one layer
per vertical level, with features tagged railway, tunnel, and bridge. Without that
source added to your map, the mod has nothing to draw.

- Data is OpenStreetMap / OpenRailwayMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
- Dashed tunnel rendering is experimental and may fall back to reduced opacity.
