Poland Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for Poland matching railway and station tags, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 09:26:48.172580.

Use Cases

• Map railway network density based on the 'railway' tag.
• Geocode station locations based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.
• Analyze station naming conventions based on the 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:pl' fields.
• Visualize vertical layering of rail lines based on the 'layer' and 'ele' (elevation) attributes.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multilingual station names ('name:en', 'name:pl') for internationalization.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).
• Last updated on 2026-03-03 09:26:48.172580.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
