South Sudan Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers have tagged railway lines, tram tracks, and stations across South Sudan. The data is useful for transport accessibility analysis and basemap context, though coverage may be sparse in remote areas. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-22.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create basemap context for humanitarian or development projects using geospatial railway data.
• Assess the completeness of transport infrastructure mapping in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map with a defined tagging schema.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity and may be sparse in remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
