Turkmenistan Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide railway lines and stations tagged with the `railway` key for Turkmenistan. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which includes rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is licensed under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations
