What's wrong with consulting a timetable?
To consult a timetable you need to know what station to use.
This is currently a problem in open railway map. You can search the map
based on the name of the train station, but not based on actual towns or
other locations. It is even more of an annoying problem in north
America where large swaths of the railway network have no passenger
service and therefor no stations. If you want to look at railways in
Tennessee, for example, the closest you can get is Memphis, which is a
long way and a lot of scrolling from Nashville, Johnson City or Bristol
(a days drive). [Of course the real problem here is the US passenger
rail network, but we aren't going to fix that here.]
