Palestinian Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide railway lines, tram tracks, and stations tagged with `railway` for the State of Palestine. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line locations.
• Creating basemap context layers based on OSM railway and station features.
• Studying urban transit infrastructure based on the presence of tram tracks.
• Mapping multimodal transport connections based on the combined rail and station data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-14 23:08:26.645657.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the description.
