Georgia Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports contain railway lines and stations tagged with `railway`, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data for Georgia in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create thematic basemaps for regional planning based on railway infrastructure.
• Assess public transit coverage in urban areas based on tram track data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• The data is tagged with the OSM `railway` key, which suggests a structured classification of features.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
