Thailand Railway Features and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Thailand Railways (OpenStreetMap Export) is a geospatial dataset containing railway features and stations extracted from OpenStreetMap. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-05 12:37:29.664703. It includes features tagged as 'rail' or 'station' with attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address details.

Use Cases

• Map railway network coverage in Thailand based on OpenStreetMap 'rail' features.
• Identify and geolocate railway stations based on the 'station' tag and associated name attributes.
• Analyze railway infrastructure attributes such as elevation (ele) and operator type (operator:type).
• Integrate railway data with other geospatial layers for transportation planning using the provided address fields (addr:full, addr:city).

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multilingual name attributes (name:en, name:th) for features.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (KML, GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE).
• Last updated on 2026-05-05 12:37:29.664703.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's crowdsourced nature.
