Tonga Railway Features and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team contain all features in Tonga tagged as railway lines or stations. The dataset likely contains attributes such as name, elevation, operator type, and address information. Data was last updated on 2026-05-05 and is available in multiple geospatial file formats.

Use Cases

• Map railway network connectivity in Tonga based on the 'railway' tag.
• Identify station locations and their associated addresses based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.
• Analyze the vertical profile of rail lines based on the 'ele' (elevation) attribute.
• Categorize railway operators and management types based on the 'operator:type' field.

Strengths

• Data is available in five common geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, GARMIN IMG, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Features are defined by specific OpenStreetMap tags ('rail' and 'station'), providing a clear scope.
• Attributes include potential location details like address and elevation, which may support spatial analysis.

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 timestamp is in the future (2026-05-05).
