OpenStreetMap Railway Features for Dominica Including Stations and Elevation

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team provide geospatial data for all railway features in Dominica matching specific tags. The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details, and is available in multiple GIS formats. It was last updated on March 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' and 'layer' attributes.
• Analyze station locations and associated amenities based on 'name', 'addr:full', and 'addr:city' fields.
• Model terrain integration for rail lines using the 'ele' (elevation) attribute.
• Identify operational management structures using the 'operator:type' information.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple geographic file formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• Attributes cover operational, locational, and topographic details for railway features.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
