U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Federal Railroad Administration 20150601 ABANDONED RAIL NETWORK IN FLORIDA - 2015 vector digital data Washington, D.C. U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Federal Railroad Administration State of Florida http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/subject_areas/geographic_information_services/index.html This dataset is a spatial view representing abandoned railways from the Florida subset of the National Rail Network. The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of the nation's railway system at the 1:100,000 scale or better. The data set provides location and partial attribute information for use in national and regional network analysis applications. At the time of publishing the DVD significant updates to the layer were underway. The National Transportation Atlas Database is a set of nationwide geographic databases of transportation facilities, transportation networks, and associated infrastructure. These datasets include spatial information for transportation modal networks and intermodal terminals, as well as the related attribute information for these features. Metadata documentation, as prescribed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee, is also provided for each database. The data support research, analysis, and decision-making across all modes of transportation. They are most useful at the national level, but have major applications at regional, state, and local scales throughout the transportation community. 20150101 publication date Complete As needed -87.151119 -80.008947 31.013396 25.432604 None transportation None NGDA Network Railways ISO 19115 Topic Categories transportation GNIS United States Florida None 2014 None The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

The data was in the following geographical coordinate system: WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. During the QA/QC process GeoPlan performed the following tasks. - Extracted features where "STATEFIPS" = '12' to select features in Florida - When checking 2015 metadata for date, no date was found. Opened text file associated with raillines.shp and found date of June 2015 at the end of the text file. - Original shapefile was projected in GCS_WGS_1984. Reprojected the shapefile to Albers Conical Equal Area (fgdl_square) using the WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. - Deleted empty fields RROWNER3, TRKRGHTS4, TRKRGHTS5, TRKRGHTS6, TRKRGHTS7, TRKRGHTS8, TRKRGHTS9 - Added DESCRIPT field and populated it based on FRAARCID - Added FGDLAQDATE field and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data - Restructured table by reducing field lengths to better suit data - Uppercased all fields NOTE: Found that the margin of error was higher than 0.005 between 2015 and 2014 shapefiles because GeoPlan switched transformation methods in January of 2015. Tested this by transforming original 2015 data using the old transformation method and comparing it to the 2014 ETAT shapefile. Future transformation of this data should line up with the newest transformation.
