== Usage ==
{{hatnote|See also: [[Template:Infobox rail line/doc/parameter list|full parameter list]]}}

{{tl|Infobox rail line}} is used for railway {{Em|lines}}, i.e. the physical trackage between two or more places; however, this template is also sometimes used on articles about both a company and a line (e.g. [[Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway]]). It has no mandatory parameters. {{tl|Infobox rail}} is used to create an [[Wikipedia:Infobox|infobox]] for articles about railway {{Em|companies}}; i.e. the owner or operating entity. For rail {{Em|services}} {{tl|Infobox rail service}} is used.

== Including a route diagram ==
A  [[project:Route diagram template|Route diagram]] (based on template {{tl|BS-map}})) can be included via {{para|map}}. It can be composed right in this template (see first example), or it can be a complete template like {{para|1=map|2={{tlf|Needham Line}}}} (second example).


Note that parameter {{para|inline}} must be set to a non-empty value, like <nowiki>{{BS-map|inline=yes}}</nowiki>.
