Global Railways

This layer contains the railway network. This dataset brings together various sources such as OpenStreetMap, American Digital Cartography, Global Discovery, VAM data from different COs etc. It is updated regularly with inputs from WFP logistics but also from many partners through the Logistics Cluster and the Logistics Capacity Assessment (LCA: dlca.logcluster.org). The information is compiled at a global level by the Emergency and Preparedness Geospatial Information Unit at the World Food Programme (WFP) Headquarters in Rome, Italy. This dataset is at a global scale and is updated country by country. Feel free to contribute to this dataset by contacting hq.gis@wfp.org.
