Zimbabwe Railway Lines and Stations from OpenStreetMap

Zimbabwe's railway infrastructure, including lines, tram tracks, and stations, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is contributed by volunteers and its completeness varies, with urban areas likely more detailed than remote regions. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Analyzing transport network accessibility based on railway line and station locations.
• Creating contextual basemaps for regional planning based on tagged railway features.
• Studying the spatial distribution of rail infrastructure for development assessments.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
