Tunisian Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide railway lines and stations for Tunisia, tagged with the `railway` key. The data includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations, sourced from a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create thematic basemaps for Tunisia using railway infrastructure data.
• Cross-reference transport data with other geospatial layers for urban planning.
• Assess the completeness of railway mapping in different regions of Tunisia.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is explicitly tagged with the OpenStreetMap `railway` key, clarifying its content.

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, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
