Saudi Arabia Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features for railways and stations in Saudi Arabia, 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 10:52:26.117368.

Use Cases

• Map railway network coverage based on the 'railway' tag.
• Identify and geocode station locations based on name and address attributes.
• Analyze infrastructure layering and elevation using the 'layer' and 'ele' attributes.
• Assess operator types and management structures for railway facilities.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, offering community-verified features.
• Includes multilingual station names ('name:en', 'name:ar') for localization.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
