For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail from the full planet @openstreetmap dataset. The GeoPKG file for rail dataset is https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/releases/download/v2.1.1/planet-rail.gpkg.

This identifies railway features, line speed and electrification scheme based on metadata.

The associated source code and repository is here: https://
github.com/anisotropi4/magpie

Edit: to add links to GeoPKG files.

"Building on The Erenwine Agenda, this work expands the conversation between architecture, environment, and responsibility — moving from personal conflict into global systems and their consequences."
