I really like how Apple Maps shows not just local rapid transit lines, but also the national carriers of many countries like Japan and even the US and Canada, but I know there's more out there (for instance, Alaskan Railway and Ontario Northlands Polar Bear Express).

Anyone know good resources for this? I am aware of openrailwaymap, but it's a bit more than what I am looking for.

OpenRailMap is good all around.

For Canada, check out the Canadian Railway Atlas. Works pretty fast, eh.
For USA Class I Freight rail, check out this map. (Note it is very slow to use). USA national passenger rail Amtrak's system map/trip planner is here
For Mexico, check out the Mexican Government ARTF's Sistema Ferroviario Mexicano interactive map (Also very slow). On the flip side they offer a direct download to their map files as well.
