Railway Lines and Stations of Uganda from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for railway lines and stations tagged `railway=*` across Uganda, including rail lines, tram tracks, and stations. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-22. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas typically well-represented.

Use Cases

• Analyze transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Create basemap context for regional planning using geospatial railway features.
• Assess infrastructure density and connectivity in Ugandan urban areas.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with remote areas likely sparse due to volunteer mapping activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
