Israel Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Israel's railway network, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness may vary, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for regional planning using geospatial railway features.
• Studying the density and distribution of public transport infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes railway lines, tram tracks, and stations tagged with the `railway` key.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the source description.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
