- Abstract
- This line data layer represents railroad lines for the Upper Midwest in 2010. The Upper Midwest includes: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The dataset was originally published by the Federal Railroad Administration in 2010.[The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of the nation's railway system at the 1:100,000 scale or better. The data set covers all 50 States plus the District of Columbia.]
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [The data set provides location and partial attribute information for use in national and regional network analysis applications.]
- Supplemental Information
- AGSL staff supplemented original metadata. For official metadata please see rail_lines.htm. [At the time of publishing the CD significant updates to the layer were underway.]
