Sudan Railways Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Sudan's railway infrastructure, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations tagged with the `railway` key. It was last updated on 2026-05-09 and is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, KML, and GeoJSON.

Use Cases

• Mapping transport networks based on OpenStreetMap railway features.
• Analyzing transport accessibility based on the locations of rail lines and stations.
• Providing basemap context for other geospatial analyses based on the included infrastructure data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, providing multiple feature types.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
