Guatemala Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Guatemala contain railway lines and stations tagged with the `railway` key. The data includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for regional planning using geospatial railway data.
• Mapping multimodal transport connections based on the inclusion of tram tracks and stations.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, free global map source.
• The export was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Limitations

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