Colombia Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for Colombia matching tags for railways and stations. The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03.

Use Cases

• Mapping railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag.
• Identifying station locations and their operators based on the 'name' and 'operator:type' attributes.
• Analyzing the vertical profile of rail lines based on the 'ele' (elevation) attribute.
• Geocoding station facilities based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multilingual station names ('name:en', 'name:es') for international use.
• Contains geometric and attribute data for both rail lines ('rail') and stations.
• Available in multiple common geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
