Belgium Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Belgium's railway infrastructure, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, tagged from OpenStreetMap. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated in June 2026. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport accessibility based on railway and tram line locations.
• Create contextual basemaps for urban planning using station and track data.
• Assess network completeness in different regions based on volunteer mapper coverage.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-06-26 01:49:08.430363.

Limitations

• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas due to reliance on volunteer mappers.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
