@worldwideview/wwv-plugin-railway-stations

WorldWideView plugin — Railway station locations worldwide.

Usage

This package is part of the WorldWideView plugin ecosystem. It provides the following capabilities:

• ID: railway-stations
• Category: Infrastructure
• Format: static

Data Sources

Feature coordinates and metadata come from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API (query: node["railway"="station"], only nodes with a name tag), made available under the ODbL license.

Each feature is a Point with the following properties when present on the source node:

• name (required)
• station_code — station code, if tagged
• public_transport — station/stop_position/etc., if tagged
• operator — station operator, if tagged
• railway — tag value (usually station)

Installation

Typically installed via the WorldWideView Marketplace or discovered automatically. If installing manually in a Next.js setup:

npm install @worldwideview/wwv-plugin-railway-stations

Architecture

This plugin adheres to the WorldWideView standard plugin structure. As a static plugin, it connects to the core Event Bus and renders map capabilities. The GeoJSON FeatureCollection is baked into data/data.json and raw-imported at runtime by an AutoStaticPlugin class (same pattern as wwv-plugin-lighthouses).

Data Integrity

Run the fail-closed validator to check the data file:

node scripts/verify-data.mjs

Exits 0 on pass, 1 on any anomaly (FeatureCollection shape, Point geometries, coordinate ranges, required properties, duplicate ids).

Built for WorldWideView.
