Usage

Overview
name	name of the heritage railway
other_name	alternative name for railway
logo	file name of the logo image, doesn't require the File: prefix
logo_width	width of the logo image. 200px by default
logo_alt	alt attribute of the logo, as per WP:ALT
image	space for another image, usually a photo of the facility or the train; unlike the logo parameter, you need to apply the full form of image rendering syntax like this: [[File:filename|width|alignment|alt=]]. It is best to make it align to center and avoid applying the thumbnail option here. Alternatively this parameter actually gives you freedom to put anything other than image inside, but be sensible.
image_name	another image parameter functions more similar to the logo parameter so you don't need to enter the full syntax for the image.
imagesize	width of the image of image_name parameter. 300px by default.
image_alt	alt attribute of the image of image_name parameter
caption	caption text below the image_name rendering
locale	locale of railway; county or local authority, etc.
terminus	main terminus of the railway
longitude	coordinates of principle station (where relevant)
latitude	[as above]
map	file name of the map image, doesn't require the File: prefix
map_caption	caption for map above
map_alt	alternative text for map for screen readers
mapsize	width of map image. 300px by default.
connections	list connections to other railway networks (Network Rail etc.)
Commercial operations
linename	name of the railway in its pre-preservation state
builtby	name of railway's constructor; most likely a railway company
originalgauge	details of pre-preservation track gauge
originalrack	details of pre-preservation rack system (if applicable)
originalelec	details of pre-preservation electrification
Preserved operations
owned	owner/maintainer of heritage railway's infrastructure etc.
operator	current operator of heritage railway
marks	reporting mark of the heritage railway
stations	number of stations on heritage railway
length	length of heritage railway in its current state
preservedgauge	details of current track gauge
preservedrack	details of current rack system (if applicable)
preservedelec	details of current electrification
era	[personally unsure of how to use this parameter]
Commercial history
com-years	year of event of significant importance
com-events	event of significant importance
com-years#	[as above]
com-events#	[as above]
* With "#" available from 1 to 12
closedpassengers	year of end of passenger services
closed	year of closure to all traffic
Preservation history
stageyears	[retained for historical reasons, now superseded by years]

years#	[as above]
events#	[as above]

website	Official website only. Either enter the full URL, as in |website=http://www.example.com/ or use the {{URL}} template as in |website={{URL|www.example.com}}
headquarters	[headquarters]
Transcluding route map
routemap	the buttom space for a route diagram. If your route map is built up by the templates of project:route diagram template, the whole map is best to be written in a separate template and transcluded by the {{infobox rdt}}. This will prevent the map from breaking up in IE7 or older browsers. See West Coast Wilderness Railway for example.
routemap_name	header title of the routemap section, Route map by default
routemap_state	collapse state of the route map section. "Show" by default. Input collapsed to "hide" the map in the article by default.

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, specific to the day, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE); if it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

• adr
• category
• country-name
• extended-address
• fn
• label
• locality
• nickname
• note
• org
• street-address
• url
• vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them. {{#ifeq: doc|doc||{{#ifeq: doc|sandbox||[[Categori:[[{PAGENAME}}]]}}}}
