Including route diagram template in map parameter

If the route map made using project:Route diagram templates included in the infobox "breaks apart" on every row in browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 like the left one, apply the template {{infobox rdt}} like this:

|map = {{Infobox rdt|ROUTE DIAGRAM TEMPLATE NAME}}

breaking rows fixed
Template:PAGENAMEBASE
Route map
Template:Needhammap
Template:PAGENAMEBASE
Route map

This issue doesn't exist under browser like IE8, Firefox or Opera by their default font and margin preferences. If only few rows break apart, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to soft return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto will solve this problem.
