Eswatini Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides railway lines, tram tracks, and stations for Eswatini, tagged with the `railway` key. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Create transport network basemaps based on railway lines and stations.

• Cross-reference local field knowledge with volunteered geographic information.

Strengths

• Data is available in six geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
