If you haven't played Ticket to Ride (or one of its many variants, Europe, India, et al.), I highly recommend it. A fun game for the layman, but to the computer scientist it screams graph theory. Currently working on an app that does shortest path recommendations. It will eventually take into account the cards in your hand, what's in the discard pile, and locomotives to guesstimate the cheapest path. Additionally it will map out routes for your objective cards and how to combine routes to achieve all of them.
Alright, enough of what's to come. In order for any of this to work we first need data. Since none exist (seriously why), I have mapped out the European map into a flat file that is easily parsable. It is laid out in an adjacency list format (oddly enough, my data structure of choice for this endeavor; what a cowinky dink ;) )
I have taken this:
and made this
I've run it through a few verification checks, mainly to make sure that misspellings are corrected. If you find something else, please let me know.

Hopefully will have the initial cut of this done tomorrow. Stay tuned!
