This dimension groups transport infrastructure by the kind of structure it actually is, a station, a bridge, a canal or otherwise. Wikipedia notes that infrastructure includes "public and private physical structures such as roads, railways, bridges, airports, public transit systems, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, and telecommunications," a genuinely wide range of physical forms. Browsing by infrastructure type keeps comparable structures together regardless of which transport network they serve.
