Bahamas Railway Features and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for railways and stations in the Bahamas, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, KML, and GeoJSON.

Use Cases

• Map railway network coverage in the Bahamas based on the 'railway' tag.
• Identify station locations and their operators based on the 'name' and 'operator:type' attributes.
• Analyze the vertical layering of transport infrastructure based on the 'layer' and 'ele' (elevation) attributes.
• Geocode station addresses for logistics planning based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple geospatial export formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, GARMIN IMG, SHP, GEOJSON) for tool flexibility.
• Attributes are linked to detailed OpenStreetMap wiki documentation for semantic clarity.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from linked wiki pages after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's volunteer-driven collection.
