Kosovo Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team contain all features in Kosovo tagged as railway lines ('rail') or stations ('station'). The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and multilingual names. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 and is available in multiple geospatial formats under the ODbL license.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag.
• Geolocate stations for routing applications based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.
• Analyze station naming conventions and multilingual labels based on the 'name', 'name:en', 'name:sq', and 'name:sr' fields.
• Assess infrastructure elevation profiles based on the 'ele' (elevation) attribute.

Strengths

• Data is available in four common geospatial formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• Includes multilingual station names in English, Albanian ('name:sq'), and Serbian ('name:sr').
• Contains specific attributes for infrastructure analysis, such as elevation ('ele') and operator type ('operator:type').

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
