Gambia Railways and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team include all features in The Gambia tagged as railway lines ('rail') or stations ('station'). The dataset likely contains attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details. It was last updated on 2026-03-03.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag.
• Analyze station locations and their attributes based on features like 'name' and 'addr:city'.
• Model transportation infrastructure layers based on the 'layer' attribute.
• Validate and update OpenStreetMap data based on the 'source' attribute.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Dataset is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0).
• Features are explicitly defined by OpenStreetMap tags for railways and stations.

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 is 2026 03 03.
