Denmark Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Denmark's railway infrastructure, including lines and stations, exported from OpenStreetMap. The dataset contains features tagged with the `railway` key, such as rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for Denmark using railway infrastructure data.
• Studying the distribution of rail stations and tram tracks for urban planning.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• It was last updated on 2026-05-15, suggesting 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.
