Mozambique Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Mozambique, last updated May 2026, includes railway lines, tram tracks, and stations tagged with the 'railway' key. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which is available in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely more detailed than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Modeling transport accessibility based on railway network coverage.
• Creating basemap context layers using the included rail lines and stations.
• Analyzing the distribution of railway infrastructure across urban and remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in six geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON), increasing accessibility for different tools.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Exported and distributed by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), a recognized organization.

Limitations

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