Can't wait until the French train lines are complete. The nearest
thing to an SNCF map on the web is shite:

(And no, even the SNCF doesn't seem to publish one.)

A second thought: it would be nice to have a standard collection of
the major map styles, to instantly generate this kind of map for
wherever. Obvious candidates:
- Driving
- Cycling
- Hiking/mountain biking
- Public transport
- Other networks (power, trucking...)
