Ukraine Railway Infrastructure: Tracks and Stations with Multilingual Names

This geospatial dataset provides railway infrastructure for Ukraine, exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. It captures physical rail lines and station locations along with administrative metadata and elevation details.

Use Cases

• Route planning and network analysis using the 'railway' classification
• Bilingual map visualization using 'name:en' and 'name:uk' columns
• Topographic infrastructure modeling using the 'ele' elevation attribute

Strengths

• Multilingual support with 'name:en' and 'name:uk' fields
• Available in four standard GIS formats: SHP, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, and KML
• Includes vertical positioning data via 'ele' and 'layer' attributes

Limitations

• Crowdsourced nature may lead to missing 'operator:type' or 'ele' values in rural areas
• Temporal accuracy is subject to the frequency of OpenStreetMap contributor updates in conflict-affected regions
