I did myself a gift: the Italian Atlas of Transportation. It's a very visual and informative atlas of all transportation networks, services etc., with a lot of informative and visually pleasant charts, graphs about service, infrastructure, demand, etc.

Another example: historic chart of the national mainline rail network with electrification and double tracking

Number of daily trains by section and by station, divided by type (regional or long distance)

A time chart for S7 suburban service in Milan with superimposed user number. You can clearly see the morning and afternoon peak to Milan, but also the morning and mid-day reverse peaks to Lecco, probably partly due to high school commuting

The complexity of service pattern on the Milano-Sondrio line on a typical afternoon, with several type of services: RE, R, S in the section near Milan and even some Eurocity

Rail network by # of tracks and type of electrification

Number of trains/day on long distance services.
Green: market
Yellow: subsidized

Some examples: train/day on the whole national network by section and by station, divided by typology
