Rail

Key: osm_rail | Secondary data | Category: Infrastructure

Indicates whether at least one railroad is present within the respective administrative unit. Values are boolean (True/False), derived from a spatial intersection of OpenStreetMap waterway features ("railway") with the unit boundary.

Railroad presence is based on OpenStreetMap data, which is community-contributed and may be incomplete or inconsistent. The data layer indicates presence or absence only and does not capture the size, flow, or significance of waterways. Administrative units partially intersected at their boundary are counted as containing a railroad.
