  1. 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 github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/.

    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.
