This catalogue is maintained manually and therefore may not include all available icons. Refer to the following for complete catalogues by category:

The original list was split into smaller sub-lists due to it taking too long to load all the icons. Editors may create new sub-lists if the existing sub-lists become too long or are unsuitable for including the desired icon. See the Catalog of pictograms for the pre-split list.

The basic diagrams are primarily used to show

  • existing track
     /  dark color
 vs. disused/planned track
 /  light color
  • heavy rail
      red
 vs. light rail/rapid transit
  blue
  • normal track
      plain
 vs. elevated track
  grey borders 		vs. tunnel track
  double-dashed
  • watered canals
      blue
 vs. unwatered canals
  green
and
  • navigable watercourses
      dark blue
 vs. non-navigable watercourses
  light blue

Note that the number of lines (tracks) is not normally shown in diagrams, except in depictions of small areas such as stations and individual light rail/tram lines.

Naming logic

[edit]

This system of icon names was originally created on the German Wikipedia in 2006, and has since been expanded by editors on different projects. Consequently, most icon names are derived from German, and the rest from English and Dutch.

BSicon files are named File:BSicon pictogram-ID.svg. (The ID of an icon is entered (without "BSicon") into {{Routemap}} or into the {{BS-map}} helper templates. Usage instructions for those templates are at Template:Routemap and w:en:WP:RDT respectively.) The ID is constructed from a root, usually with prefixes and suffixes (e.g.   (tKBHFa) refers to a pictogram derived from t+K+BHF+a). Prefixes and suffixes are mostly lowercase, but the root is all caps (capital letters), with only a few exceptions. All icons contain at least one root,[a] and sometimes two or more are combined to form complex icons. Affixes generally modify the "base" icon in color, directionality, structure, etc., and may not be necessary for simple icons.

Prefix

[edit]

The prefixes generally indicate the status of the infrastructure.

Zero or more of these prefixes:
(none) u f g
U-Bahn / underground footpath ground
heavy rail
  (STR) 		e.g. metro, light rail or canal
  (uSTR) 		footpath or hiking trail
  (fSTR) 		unwatered canal
  (gSTR)
followed by zero or more of:
e x m
ehemals / erstwhile ex Mischbetrieb / mixed
closed, under construction, or planned (secondary track, station,stop or other feature)
  (eABZgl) 		closed, under construction, or planned (main track or feature)
  (xABZgl) 		indicates that the icon contains more than one type of line or colour in the same pictogram (see below)[b]
  (mABZgl)
then optionally one or more of:
l h t p k n
Legende / legend Hochbahn / high level Tunnelstrecke / tunnel partial Kombination (4-column) eng / narrow
symbol for legends / overlaying
  (lACC) 		elevated line
  (hSTR) 		underground line
  (tSTR) 		partial or limited service
  (pBHF) 		compound turn[c]
  (kSTR2) 		thin (half-width) line
  (nSTR)
followed by none, one or two of these prefixes (see #Widths below):
o c d b s w
octal schmal / compact dünn / demi breit / broad spread weit / wide
eighth-width symbols[d] quarter-width symbols
  (cSTRq) 		half-width symbols
  (dSTRq) 		double-width symbols
  (bSTRq) 		quadruple-width symbols
  		octuple-width symbols
 
then optionally one or more of:
v C D L M P 2 3 4
from the transition between double and single lines Cutt / cutting Damm Lücke (leak) Maske / mask Platform 2-row 3-column 45° / 4 corners
close parallel lines
  (vSTR) 		open cut line
  (CSTR) 		line on embankment
  (DSTR) 		interruption to line[e]
  (LSTR) 		symbol for masks and masked icons
  (MSTR)
 platform(s) beside line
  (PSTR) 		double row
  (v2SHI2l-)
  (v-2SHI2+r) 		compound turn
  (3STR2) 		45° curve[f]
  (4HUBa@Fq)

The standard order is

"u" · "f" · "g" – prefixes concerning the type of the track are first;
"e" · "x" · "m" – prefixes concerning the status of the track are next;[b]
"l" · "h" · "t" · "p" · "k" · "n" – prefixes concerning the elevation of the track follow;[g]
"c" · "d" · "b" – prefixes concerning width of the icon are fourth;
"v" · "C" · "D" · "L" · "M" · "P" · "2" · "3" · "4" – root modifiers are last.[g]

Parallel lines
[edit]

All icons with a symmetrical subject such as bridges (either highway, normal or waterway), borders and tunnels but excluding icons for crossings with other railway lines and stations use the following naming convention:

  • v prefix, both lines in use:  ,  ,  
  • ev prefix, left line disused, right line in use:  ,  ,  
  • xv prefix, left line in use, right line disused:  ,  ,  
  • exv prefix, both lines disused:  ,  ,  

For crossings the prefix applies to the crossing line:

  • v:  
  • ev:  
  • xv:  
  • exv:  

For symmetrical stations the pattern is the same as for crossings, where the prefix is placed before the v and denotes the entire station:

  • v:  
  • ev:  
  • exv:  

For asymmetrical stations, prefixes which only apply to one half are placed after the v:

  •   (vSTR-BHF)
  •   (vexSTR-BHF)
  •   (vSTR-eBHF)
  •   (vSTR-exBHF)
Transverse parallel lines
[edit]

This subgroup covers icons where the parallel lines run across. If the icon name does not need a separating dash, then the name is the same as the regular icon, with the addition of the suffix q (for quarter turn):

  (vSTR)   (vSTRq)
  (evCONTf)   (evCONTfq)
  (uvBHF)   (uvBHFq)

Other icons are named as if they were two regular icons, one above the other. Prefixes that only apply to the first half of the icon are separated from any preceding prefixes by the ^ (caret) character where necessary; in all other cases, no prefix is used to indicate transverse parallel lines.

  (uSTRq-STR+r)   (uSTRq)
  (uSTR+r)		 u prefix applies to both halves
  (KRZu-mKRZu)   (KRZu)
  (mKRZu)		 m prefix applies to bottom half
  (^mKRZo-KRZo)   (mKRZo)
  (KRZo)		 m prefix applies to top half
  (^vKRZo-mvKRZo)   (vKRZo)
  (mvKRZo)		 v prefix applies to each half separately
m prefix applies to bottom half

In exceptional situations, the following syntax may be used:

The preceding concerns parallel lines produced from single icons, and how those icons (if they exist) would be named. There are also applications of route diagrams where "parallel lines" are depicted using several columns of single line icons. If a diagram feature you have seen on some other Wikipedia page may be expressed in terms of the prefixes above, but you fail to reproduce it that way, then this may be because that other page used several columns.

Other geometry
[edit]

If q (quarter turn) is part of the title suffix, the primary line line runs across the page, from left to right.

Some suffix title codes, for instance u, o, imply grade separation, also t, h if used once. This determines which line is drawn over (z-layer above) the other. If both lines are on same level, then the secondary track is usually shown below the primary (z-layer under), unless the primary is out of use and the secondary is in use.

There are a few "pseudo"-roots that do not follow the all-caps rule, such as num (e.g.   (num1r)) and Lock.

Connectors

[edit]

Some icons have more than one feature, in which case connectors are used to join multiple roots.

Relationship Example Description
 
Connector
 - parallel   (vSTR-DST) Used between adjacent objects in parallel lines syntax. Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to each root independently, but are applied to both objects if used at the beginning of the icon name. The absence of the v prefix indicates that the parallel lines are transverse.
+ stacked   (STR+GRZq) Used to place multiple objects in the same icon without affecting their positions. All prefixes, suffixes and colours are applied to each root independently. Where applicable, the second object (from left to right) is layered above the first one, and so on.
; modified   (v-2SHI2+r;g2) Used to combine objects with different geometries. ;ABZg is abbreviated as ;g and ;KRZ is abbreviated as ;. In the latter case, KRZ prefix and suffix logic is used for all of the objects.

Suffix

[edit]

Suffixes in this category indicate the directionality, position or structural variation. Note that directions are based on as if travelling along within a standard, top-to-bottom route.

Four common suffixes are left, right, forward and backward:

  • l [links, German for "left"],
  • r [rechts, German for "right"],
  • f [Fahrtrichtung, German for "direction of travel"] (forward, basically) and
  • g [Gegenrichtung, German for "opposite direction" (of travel)].
     

After the first BSicons were created in 2006, it was soon realized that the system with f and g was very limited, especially when dealing with icons facing across. Therefore, the + suffix—in the sense of "coming from"—was introduced.

l and r have been used mistakenly as left and right as the reader sees it; there is no "u" for "up [the page]" and "d" for "down [the page]", hence instead the icons are designed as if moving inside a classical 'down' track route that is being depicted instead.

In 2018, additional variations of the l, r, f and g suffixes were introduced in order to reduce naming conflicts and increase specificity; these additions are shown in the table in the § Suffix modifiers section.

Caveat: Depending on context g also pairs with q, them sharing letter positions wrt other suffix codes. In this respect g usually stands for [geradeaus, German for "straight" or "straight ahead" – analogous to "through" in English].[p][q] The letter tuple is then employed to bisect straight (top-bottom) from across track (left-right) attributed icon variants in applicable icon sets.

Some suffixes have the same meaning across all icons, but others may have root-specific meanings. For example, the l and r suffixes on their own typically produce a 90° turn, but this is not the case for the BS, BS2, FOW, KRW, PSL, SHI, TEE, ÜST, ÜWB or WSL roots, and is only sometimes the case for KRZ.

Suffix e.g. Etymology
Objective upper right 1[r]   
Objective lower right 2[r]   
Objective lower left 3[r]   
Objective upper left 4[r]   
Start a    DE: Anfang
End e    DE: Ende, EN: end
Forward f    DE: Fahrtrichtung, EN: forward
Backward g    DE: Gegenrichtung, EN: against (non-exclusive etymologies)
Elevated h    DE: Hochbahn, EN: high level. Concerns the additional track / element.
Halved (straight at corner) h    DE: halb, EN: half. Used after corner number only
To left l    DE: links, EN: left
From left +l   
Interruption L    DE: Lücken
Left part -L    DE: Linke, EN: left
Middle m    DE: mittlere, EN: middle
Middle part -M    DE: Mitte, EN: middle
Narrow line n    DE: eng, EN: narrow
Over o    DE: oben, EN: over
Across q   
  		 DE: quer, EN: quarter turn.[s]
To right r    DE: rechts, EN: right
From right +r   
Right part -R    DE: Rechte, EN: right
Tunnel t    DE: Tunnel, EN: tunnel. Concerns the additional track / element.
Under u    DE: unter, EN: under
Parallel lines v    Similar to "v" prefix.
Out of use x   
  		 EN: expired. Usually indicates that one element is out of use.[t]

Other codes are made from joining these together. Additional icons can be created by overlaying existing ones.

Suffix modifiers

[edit]
  • A primary object, as used here, is usually the line.
  • A secondary object is usually an object on the line, or one which would be on a line, like a station. The crossing line of   (KRZo) is also defined as the secondary object.
  • An auxiliary object is an object which is not a line (or roadway) and which does not change colour with the ex prefixes, such as a formation:  .

As of February 2024, unlike all other suffixes, the ~L, ~R, ~F and ~G suffixes are not used inside asymmetrical parallel lines syntax, as they generally affect both halves of the icon.

Colours

[edit]
  • dark colour means a currently open line / facility
  • light colour means either a closed line / route / facility or one under construction / planned
  • red indicates heavy rail or freight line
  • blue indicates light rail, metro or tram line; or canal
  • green indicates specific uses: nominally footpaths and unwatered canals, but also other gauges or special circumstances such as fare-free zones.

Colour sets

[edit]

There are 33[u] BSicon sets in addition to the four standard sets:

  •   (eHST maroon)
  •   (eHST red)
  •   (eHST orange)
  •   (eHST carrot)
  •   (eHST saffron)
  •   (eHST yellow)
  •   (eHST golden)
  •   (eHST olive)
  •   (eHST lime)
  •   (eHST green)
  •   (eHST jade)
  •   (eHST teal)
  •   (eHST exteal)
  •   (eHST cyan)
  •   (eHST deepsky)
  •   (eHST azure)
  •   (eHST sky)
  •   (eHST cerulean)
  •   (eHST blue)
  •   (eHST denim)
  •   (eHST lavender)
  •   (eHST purple)
  •   (eHST violet)
  •   (eHST fuchsia)
  •   (eHST ruby)
  •   (eHST exruby)
  •   (eHST pink)
  •   (eHST ochre)
  •   (eHST brown)
  •   (eHST steel)
  •   (eHST grey)
  •   (eHST black)
  •   (HST white) 

Many standard icons, including some of those needed for drawing more complex track geometries, are available in all 37 sets. The smallest set, carrot, contains 1,662 icons.[v] However, most tables in this catalogue only show the heavy rail and metro sets. For an overview of the icons in other sets, see the catalogue by YLSS.

New colours can be proposed at Talk:BSicon/Colors.

Naming

[edit]

Icons in the colour sets follow the same naming as regular icons, with the colour name appended.

Mixed lines

[edit]
Basic colours
[edit]

For icons with both more than one colour, the m prefix indicates that the primary line is the default colour and the secondary (u, f or g) is different. A um, fm or gm prefix denotes the opposite.

m um
  (mKRZ)   (umKRZ)
  (mABZgl)   (umABZgl)
  (xmABZqr)   (uxmABZqr)

The f and g sets can also be mixed.

  (mfKRZ)   (fmKRZ)
  (mfKRZo)   (fmKRZo)
  (mgKRZo)   (gmKRZo)

If two of the u, f and g prefixes are used, m is omitted.

  (fuKRZo)   (ufKRZo)
  (guKRZo)   (ugKRZo)

When m is omitted, the e and x suffixes are placed between the two sets' prefixes, as in   (uexfKRZo).

Named colours
[edit]

Other colour sets can also be mixed, but use a different naming scheme: the first colour is the primary line (through line or vertical axis) and the second color is either the branch line or on a secondary axis, separated by a plus symbol (+). A blank adjacent to the + indicates that one of the lines is a basic colour.

  •   (mABZgr +yellow)
  •   (umKRZo +saffron)
  •   (xmtKRZtu azure+)
  •   (mvSTR black+orange)

Some icons may use m as a suffix instead of a prefix to indicate that a specific element uses the secondary colour. This is usually done by prepending it to another suffix, such as in   (STRl+mr).

Geometry

[edit]
Main gallery: BSicon/Icon geometry and SVG code neatness.

Standard icons are drawn in a 500 pixel × 500 pixel square. Lines are 100 pixels wide, centred at 250 pixels. Parallel lines are centred on the quarter points, i.e. 125 and 375 pixels, as are formation elements. Thin lines (sidings, feeders, formation elements, linkways, borders, etc.) are 50 pixels wide, and also aligned to the ¼–½–¾ grid.

Widths

[edit]
 
o   ⅛ width
c   ¼ width
oc   ⅜ width
d   ½ width
cd   ¾ width
  full width
+c   1¼ wide
+d   1½ wide
+cd   1¾ wide
b   double-width (2×)
s   quadruple-width (4×)
bs   sextuple-width (6×)
w   octuple-width (8×)
 

Note that spacers are named in increasing width order (not alphabetically).

These templates should be replaced with {{BSicon catalogue}} where possible.

These templates are used for constructing the catalog pages (in increasing order of complexity):

INT-R   INT   INT-L   Interchange
Used for displaying an icon and its -Left and -Right variants.
tKICON a ex ex ex ex Terminus start, in tunnel
Used for displaying regular and ex variants of INT, ACC and INTACC icons.
KRX
Displays a single icon and its name in a pair of cells in a catalogue table row.
KRX
Similar to BS-anleitungq, but with the icon to the right of the label.
ROOTq             Basic road icon across
Used solely for generic roads.
SKRZ-GROOTo         Overpass rail over
As above, but for road-rail crossings.
mKRZo                         Railway bridge over waterway
Used solely for canal pages.
ABZgl                                   Branching to left
As BS-anleitungP, but with u prefix.

The documentation for each template explains its usage and syntax.

There are also matching templates that insert the header row for each of the icon row templates. For example, the template {{Template:WP:RDT/BSa8/h}} creates the first row of this table (which uses {{Template:WP:RDT/BSa8}}):

ex t ext h exh u uex ut uext uh uexh
BHFq                         Station across

Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ Except the blank icons used as spacers.
  2. ↑ a b In mixed icons using two of "u", "f" and "g", the secondary colour prefix is placed where "m" would be; e.g.   (uxgKRZo).
  3. ↑ "k" icons are used to draw circular 90° turns over two rows; see BSicon/Catalogue/compound junctions#k icons. Two curve icons and a connecting corner icon are used to form a curve, with an additional interior corner icon used for parallel and elevated curves. A double "kk" prefix indicates that the curve changes the turning direction and forms an S-shaped curve with two regular "k" icons; e.g.   (kkSTR2).
  4. ↑ It is usually impossible to use icons of this width, as they would have to be 2.5 px wide in diagrams with a row height of 20 px, and images cannot be scaled to non-integer dimensions by MediaWiki. However, the blank spacer cells in {{Routemap}} are not images, so the o spacer should display with the correct width.
  5. ↑ A double "LL" prefix is used to indicate special corner connections.
  6. ↑ 45° curves do not normally need this prefix. The "4" prefix is only used in icons where an intersection with a 45° curve cannot be specified in another way.
  7. ↑ a b These prefixes can also be used as suffixes to modify secondary objects.
  8. ↑ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n In most cases these icons are accompanied by a suffix. A number indicating a variation is also considered a suffix.
  9. ↑ a b c d e The letter Ü can be input on Windows as Ctrl+'+U with the UK keyboard layout (or by typing Alt+0220 into the numeric keypad) and on macOS as ⌥ Opt+u then U (or by holding ⇧ Shift+U and then pressing 2). Or just copy and paste it, if you can't be bothered or your computer doesn't let you. Some redirects replacing the 'Ü' with 'UE' have been created (e.g. BRUECKE → BRÜCKE).
  10. ↑ KRW (from the Dutch kruiswissel; literally cross exchange) to adjacent column. Identical to a 4-quarter shift, and should not be confused with ABZ icons used for branching off from a line, because the geometry used differs.
  11. ↑ Special-purpose icon.
  12. ↑ Can also be applied to other stations and non-stations.
  13. ↑ Special case for icons connecting at corners.
  14. ↑ a b Can also be applied to HST. S+ (S+BHF, S+HST) indicates that both S-Bahn and non-S-Bahn trains call at a station.
  15. ↑ Can also be applied to ACC, HST, HSTACC, INT, INTACC, SBHF, SHST, S+BHF, S+HST, DST, BST and ZOLL.
  16. ↑ introduced in 2013, possibly before: Talk:BSicon/Renaming/ABZ#Former_ABZ3
  17. ↑ Symbol g polymorphism in BSicon titles can be confusing, esp. because the letter in root's prefix has yet another meaning. Comparing titles of a set can aid in getting an interpretation that fits, but this is unstable at times when title mapping is disputed, discussed and/or adjusted to accomodate for new/ambiguously named icons.
  18. ↑ a b c d Additional modifiers:
    +n   – from the corner
    cn   (EN: corner) – supplementary for 45° branchings and special situations
    tn   (EN: tunnel) – tunnel portal; supplementary for 45° branchings
  19. ↑ Rotated 90° anticlockwise.
  20. ↑ Aside from termini, this is used in front of other suffixes   (ABZgl+xl) or without an additional suffix   (THSTx) to indicate that an element is out of use.
  21. ↑ As of January 2019. The ruby and teal sets have also been extended into exruby and exteal respectively.
  22. ↑ As of January 2019 (PetScan: HTML, CSV).
