Sri Lanka Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Sri Lanka's railway infrastructure, including lines and stations, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is provided in multiple geospatial formats and is licensed under ODbL-1.0. It was last updated on May 14, 2026, by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line locations.
• Create contextual basemaps for Sri Lanka using railway infrastructure.
• Assess public transit coverage based on station and track data.

Strengths

• Data is available in six geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly tagged with the OpenStreetMap `railway` key for consistent feature identification.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-05-14 17:42:32.468365).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• OpenStreetMap completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
