Aruba Railway Features and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for railway infrastructure in Aruba, matching tags for 'rail' and 'station'. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-05. It includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details.

Use Cases

• Map railway lines and stations in Aruba based on the 'railway' and 'name' attributes.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of railway infrastructure using geospatial coordinates.
• Identify railway operators and station addresses for logistical planning based on the 'operator:type' and 'addr:full' fields.
• Create multi-language maps for Aruba using station names in English and Dutch ('name:en', 'name:nl').

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, GARMIN IMG, SHP, GEOJSON) for flexibility.
• Features are defined by specific OpenStreetMap tags ('rail', 'station'), providing a clear scope.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
