Greenland Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for railways and stations in Greenland, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset includes 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.
• Geocode station locations based on address attributes like 'addr:full' and 'addr:city'.
• Analyze multilingual naming conventions for stations using 'name:en', 'name:da', and 'name:gre' tags.
• Visualize vertical layering of rail features using the 'layer' and 'ele' (elevation) attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multilingual station names in English, Danish, and Greenlandic.
• Provides multiple geospatial file formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative mapping project.

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 date is in the future (2026-03-03).
