Suriname Railway Network and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team contain all railway ('rail') and station features for Suriname. The dataset includes attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address information. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 and is available in multiple geospatial formats under the ODbL license.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity based on the 'railway' tag and geometry.
• Analyze station locations and associated metadata like 'name' and 'addr:city'.
• Model multi-level transport intersections using the 'layer' attribute.
• Verify data sources and contributors for railway features using the 'source' field.

Strengths

• Data is derived from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and openly licensed global mapping project.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for flexibility.
• Attributes cover operational details like 'operator:type' and physical details like 'ele' (elevation).

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).
