Well, I guess that’s one place to put your map. It’s nice and visible from both platforms, at least! Source: SpirosK photography/Flickr

Photo: Old Rome–Pantano Railway Map, Italy
Submitted by Chris Bastian. An old, out-of-date wall map of the Rome–Pantano railway. Until 2008, the line ran from the Roma Termini station out to Pantano, a suburb to the east of Rome.

Also of note is […]

Granted it’s not perfect, the ferry crossings become maze like in the centre […]
