Curaçao Railways and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Curaçao's railway features, including rail lines and stations, are extracted from OpenStreetMap. The dataset is maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in May 2026. It includes attributes such as names, elevations, and addresses for features tagged as 'rail' or 'station'.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag.
• Geolocate train stations for routing applications based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.
• Analyze multilingual station naming conventions based on the 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:nl' fields.
• Assess vertical layering of rail infrastructure based on the 'layer' and 'ele' (elevation) attributes.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (KML, GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE).
• Features are defined by specific OpenStreetMap tags ('rail' and 'station'), suggesting a clear scope.
• Includes multilingual name attributes ('name:en', 'name:nl') for features.

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 timestamp is in the future (2026-05-05).
