This catalogue of BSicons 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
- existing track
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.
Introduction
[edit]BSicons are generally named logically, and different icon names can often be modified in the same way. Some examples:

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 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]Prefixes order is lower case by group, UPPER case by group, then numbers. Groups in italics are always listed in the order shown (with a few exceptions).

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 only |
 (^emKRZu-KRZu) |
 (emKRZu) (KRZu) |
em prefix applies to top half only |
The following 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.
- Through and transverse parallel lines
- In exceptional situations, the following syntax may be used
| Syntax | Layout | Example | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
v^A-B-C
|
|
|||||
vA-^B-C
|
|
|||||
^vA-B-C

|||||

|
|
 (^-vKRZ-KRZo)

 (v^KRZ--^-PLT)
| ||||
Single-line junctions
[edit]| Root | Suffix (✱) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|

a v preceding the direction indicates a broad-radius (outer parallel line) curve and a d indicates tight (inner) radius: compare  (v-ABZg+rg) vs.  (v-ABZg+vrg) and  (v-ABZg+drg)
| ||||||
|
|
| ||||
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)).
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) (STRq-STR+l)
|
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].[e][f] The letter tuple is then employed to bisect straight (top-bottom) from across track (left-right) attributed icon variants in applicable icon sets.
f  forward |
g  back |
gq  back across |
fq  forward across

|---|---|---|---|
(CONTf) |
 (CONTg) |
 (CONTgq) |
 (CONTfq)
|
r to right |
l to left
| ||
 (STRr) |
 (STRl)
|
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 BS2, FOW, KRW, PLT, PSL, SHI, TEE, ÜST, ÜWB or WSL roots, and is only sometimes the case for KRZ.

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
exprefixes, such as a formation:
.

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 is a range of other BSicon sets in addition to the four standard sets:
(eHST exbrown)
(eHST brown)
(eHST maroon)
(eHST red)
(eHST ochre)
(eHST orange)
(eHST carrot)
(eHST saffron)
(eHST yellow)
(eHST golden)
(eHST olive)
(eHST lime)
(eHST green)
(eHST jade)
(eHST brunswick)
(eHST teal)
(eHST exteal)
(eHST cyan)
(eHST deepsky)
(eHST azure)
(eHST sky)
(eHST cerulean)
(eHST blue)
(eHST denim)
(eHST steel)
(eHST lavender)
(eHST purple)
(eHST violet)
(eHST fuchsia)
(eHST ruby)
(eHST exruby)
(eHST pink)
(eHST grey)
(eHST black)
(HST white)
Many standard icons, including some of those needed for drawing more complex track geometries, are available in all sets. The smallest set, white, contains 1,052 icons.[j] 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 AmosWolfe — a work-in-progress started in June 2025, and based on the work of YLSS (contribs).
If you are creating a Route Diagram Template using one of the "other colours" and the BSicon you require is not available, it is a simple process to download it in the "default" colour, edit the SVG code by changing the hex colour value, and uploading the new file under the correct filename. To request that an experienced user create a BSicon for you, or to ask for help doing it yourself, leave a message at Talk:BSicon/New icons and icon requests.
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]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.

Full colour sets
[edit]A work-in-progress that is currently hosted on a series of User subpages by User:AmosWolfe, originally started by User:YLSS. At some point in the future, this project could be adopted by the community and moved to the WikiProject namespace, for example as a series of subpages at Commons:WikiProject BSicon.
Using the example below, the code can be inserted into any page and modified by changing the BSicon name(s) and descriptions inside the templates. Where a BSicon does not exist in a paricular colour set, it is shown as a redlink.
{{User:AmosWolfe/BSicon/RailheadSimplex}}
{{User:AmosWolfe/BSicon/RaildisplaySimplex|BHF|Station|large passenger station}}
{{User:AmosWolfe/BSicon/Raildisplay2Simplex|eABZg+r|xABZg+r|Junction|partially out of use}}
{{User:AmosWolfe/BSicon/RailfootSimplex}}
Note: inserting these templates can overflow the standard page width and cause horizontal scroll bars to appear. Inserting a large number of rows can be resource-heavy and cause problems when viewing the page on older or less powerful devices.
Notes
[edit]- ↑ a b c d e f g h i j k In most cases these icons are accompanied by a suffix. A number indicating a variation is also considered a suffix.
- ↑ a b c 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).
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Special-purpose icon.
- ↑ introduced in 2013, possibly before: Talk:BSicon/Renaming/ABZ#Former_ABZ3
- ↑ Symbol g polymorphism in BSicon titles can be confusing, especially when the letter in a root's prefix has yet another meaning. Comparing titles of a set can aid in finding an interpretation that fits, but this is unstable at times when title mapping is disputed, discussed and/or adjusted to accommodate for new or ambiguously named icons.
