Ebula-inspired book timetables

This is a set of timetables for various german and austrian routes that I previously only uploaded to DTG forums.

Visually it's a mix between book timetables and Ebula that notes down various points of interest and their locations along the route, so that I can display it on a tablet next to PC or print it out (they should be all consistently sized, so you can print out a "book" of it).

Currently contained routes are:

• BRO: Bremen - Oldenburg

Format

The format should be familiar to those who know similar tools from reality, but a quick introduction for everyone:

The main part you watch is the KM column that says what lies where. These correspond to the large hectometer signs you see on every third or fourth catenary pillar. If the column is split horizontally, counting distance changes at this place.

To the left of it you have allowed track speed, a number where the speed changes, and a bar alongside its validity. Your allowed train speed may be lower than the track speed. Signal speeds in stations are generally not shown, as those vary between trains.¹

The wide column on the right contains the points of interest that are located on the marked location:

• Esig, Zsig, Asig – entry, intermediate and exit signals of a station
• Evsig ▽ and similar – distant signal for entry signal on insufficient braking distance
• ¥ – end of junctions and end of speed restrictions imposed by previous signal
• Bksig, Sbk – block and self-blocking signals along the route
• Bü – level crossing
• Name in bold – station or other railway facility (junction, stop, freight-only station) that may or may not be where your train is stopping
• El 1 – neutral section
• A 60, E 60 – allowed speed when signalled by aspect Hp 2 "Slow"
• ⟨, ⟨⟨ – significant slopes over 10 and 20 permille
• < point of interest > – point of interest when travelling on opposite track
• - point of interest - – text information for driver

¹ Some early timetables in the set mark signalled speeds in parentheses, and unannounced speed changes in inverse.
