On the Model Railroad Hobbyist forums someone posted a map of US railroads... down to individual spurs. This is clearly an amazing resource and can be found here: http://www.openrailwaymap.org/

Open Railway Map shares resources with OSM. They explicitly mention the OSM standard vector editor JOSM. Via JOSM and the gpx file format, vector data transfer to TransDEM should be possible.Combining that website's map with TransDem... that would be funny / interesting.
Depends on zoom level. Zoom in and you will find much more. Zoom dependent aspects may be things like standard gauge vs. narrow gauge. "Standard gauge" varies by country. In the and it's all down to attributes, ask the OSM folks. Anyway, I spotted my own OSM contributions which I had made occasionally in the past, in some rather remote places on this planet, like Burma, Eritrea or Madagascar.After Europe, most of North America, India and Japan, there are only scattered areas with any visible rail network showing.
It's not infallible. The Caterham line (UK) off the Brighton line alternates between single and double track on this map, whereas it is double all the way in reality.
