Railway Lines and Stations in the Dominican Republic from OpenStreetMap

Railway lines and stations tagged with `railway=*` in the Dominican Republic, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free collaborative world map, and was last updated on 2026-06 27. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) as part of their exports grid on HDX.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for urban planning projects based on the tagged infrastructure.
• Assessing the completeness of railway mapping in urban versus remote areas based on volunteer mapper activity.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely used and collaboratively updated global map.
• Explicitly tagged for railway infrastructure using the OpenStreetMap `railway=*` key.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity; urban areas are likely well represented, but remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
