Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for regional planning using geospatial railway data.
• Studying the completeness of volunteer-mapped infrastructure in an island nation.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
