Netherlands Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide railway lines and stations for the Netherlands, tagged with the `railway` key. The data includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations and is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway and tram line locations.
• Create basemap context layers for regional planning based on station and track data.
• Assess public transport coverage in urban and remote areas based on OSM-mapped features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers multiple transport types, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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