Railway Lines and Stations in Haiti from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports contain railway lines and stations tagged with `railway`. The dataset includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, sourced from a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Transport accessibility analysis based on railway line and station locations.
• Basemap context creation for Haiti using geospatial railway features.
• Cross-checking and augmenting local field knowledge with volunteer-mapped infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, free, and collaborative mapping platform.

Limitations

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