Vanuatu Railway Tracks and Stations with Multilingual Labels

Railway infrastructure and stations across Vanuatu are captured in this geospatial export provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. The data filters OpenStreetMap features for 'rail' and 'station' tags, providing physical attributes and administrative metadata.

Use Cases

• Visualizing transport networks by filtering the 'railway' column for stations and tracks
• Conducting linguistic analysis of infrastructure using 'name:en', 'name:fr', and 'name:bis' fields
• Assessing flood risk or terrain placement using the 'ele' elevation attribute

Strengths

• Available in four geospatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, KML)
• Includes localized Bislama names via the 'name:bis' field
• Provides vertical context through 'ele' and 'layer' attributes

Limitations

• Extremely small sample size due to the scarcity of rail infrastructure in Vanuatu
• Crowdsourced data may contain positional inaccuracies or missing attributes in rural regions
