Moldova Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Moldova includes railway lines, tram tracks, and stations tagged with the `railway` key. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the volunteer-built map varies, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Creating thematic basemaps for Moldova using railway infrastructure data.
• Studying the spatial distribution of public transport nodes like tram tracks and stations.

Strengths

• Covers multiple railway feature types, including lines, tram tracks, and stations.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
