The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines dataset was created in 2016 and was updated on July 18, 2025 from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The NARN Rail Lines dataset is a database that provides ownership, trackage rights, type, passenger, STRACNET, and geographic reference for North America's railway system at 1:24,000 or better within the United States. The data set covers all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Mexico, and Canada. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1528950

Illinois is at the center of the nation’s rail network. It has a comprehensive rail network consisting of approximately 9,982 miles of railroad tracks, 7,792 of which are operated by Class I railroads – primarily BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). Class I railroads are large freight companies, Class II and Class III are small regional railroad companies. The remaining 2,190 miles of track are operated by Class III short line or regional railroads. A total of 41 railroads currently operate in Illinois. They range in size from a short one-mile interstate carrier to larger railroads extending from Illinois to the West and East Coasts, Gulf of Mexico, Canada, and Mexico. Seven are freight (Class I) carriers and 34 are regional, local, switching and terminal railroads. In all, 40 railroads are able to provide service from Illinois to every part of the United States. Chicago is the largest US rail gateway and there is another major rail center located in East St. Louis. Rail’s importance to both Chicago and the state is highlighted by the fact that over 1,300 freight, passenger and commuter trains pass through the Chicago region every day and, in 2011, Illinois ranked first in the nation in terms of rail freight volume at 490.4 million tons.Updated from IDOT Illinois Railroads MapBase source 9/19/2019

The GIS Web Mapping Application is design to have the look and feel as Google Earth. The primary functionality is to provide the user information about FRA's rail lines, rail crossings, freight stations, and mileposting.

Railway routes used for regular transportation of goods and passengers. Railway yards, siding railways are allowed if they are landmarks and are classified as branch lines. They are usually generalized (not all the tracks have to be portrayed). Specific lines reaching harbour or industrial zone can be portrayed and are also classified as branch lines. The length selection is min. 1600 meters. Metro lines (= underground urban railways), tramlines or streetcar lines inside city areas are excluded. Railways are portrayed by one line regardless the number of tracks.This dataset is provided by Tailte Éireann

DescriptionThe railway key is a label from OpenStreetMap which aims to map and document all types of railways including light rail, mainline railways, metros, monorails and trams. More information on the tag here. LimitationsBear in mind that OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a digital map database of the world built through crowdsourced volunteered geographic information (VGI). Therefore, there is no systematic quality check performed on the data, and the detail, precision and accuracy varies across space.AttributesOBJECTID: Assigned by WWF. Unique identifierrailway: Type or status of railway facility (platform, subway, rail)electrified: Source of electricity (contact_line: a power line over the train head, rail: a third rail near the track supplying the train with power, yes: electrified track, but no details available, no: track with no power supply)Gauge: Voltage used for the railway facility operation (W)

Download In State Plane Projection Here. ** In addition to the Railroad Centerlines feature class, the hyperlink download above also contains a generalized layer, as well as all tracks including spurs ** This dataset was created as a cartographic backdrop as well as for any analysis that requires railroads locations. The railroads were originally traced off aerial photography taken in April of 2000 using heads up digitizing in ESRI ArcGIS and later revised using photography taken in 2005, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2013. This dataset should satisfy National Map Accuracy Standards for a 1:1200 product. Update Frequency: This dataset is updated on a weekly basis.

This map presents transportation data, including highways, roads, railroads, and airports for the world.

The map was developed by Esri using Esri highway data; Garmin basemap layers; HERE street data for North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America, India, most of the Middle East and Asia, and select countries in Africa. Data for Pacific Island nations and the remaining countries of Africa was sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors. Specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data is available to view.

Connecticut Railroads is a 1:24,000-scale, feature-based layer that includes railroad features on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps for the State of Connecticut. This layer only includes features located in Connecticut. The layer is based on information from USGS topographic quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984 and does not represent the railroad system in Connecticut at any one particular point in time. The layer does not depict current conditions and excludes many railroads that have been built, modified, or removed since the time these topographic quadrangle maps were published. The layer includes railroad tracks, bridges, drawbridges, roundhouses, sidings, tracks, tunnels, underpasses, and stations. It does not include train schedule or track related information. Features are linear and represent railroad track centerlines. Attribute information is comprised of codes to cartographically represent (symbolize) rail features on a map. This layer was originally published in 1994. The 2005 edition includes the same rail features published in 1994, but the attribute information has been slightly modified and made easier to use.

The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines: CSX View dataset is from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD).

This data set contains all Virginia Railway Express (VRE) stations in Virginia. The data set was originally obtained from the Metro Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) GIS data clearinghouse and snapped to the Fairfax County railroad data set using 2002 aerial photography as a background. This data set was created to display all VRE stations in Virginia only and can be used in conjunction with the railroad data set.

TO VIEW AND DOWNLOAD THE ACTUAL DATA, CLICK ON ONE OF THE LAYERS BELOW These layers were produced using GIS tools that interpret General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) schedule data. In short, this feed is an entire snapshot of all routes, stops, and schedules for GCRTA's service and is posted publicly at their website and various transit feed archives. "High frequency service" currently means bus or train service that runs at least 15 minutes or less. This is considered roughly the least amount of waiting time that people can use transit without having to plan far in advance. GCRTA used this distinction when redesigning their network in 2020 and 2021 and shows their service on their interactive map accordingly. While the GTFS schedule feed is published by GCRTA, these layers are not authored by them and are City Planning's interpretation (original author: Dro Sohrabian).

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission and contains railway features including railroads, rail yards, and public transit rail lines. Features were originally captured from the Georgia Department of Transportation's General Highway Base Map. They have been updated and photo-revised using 1993 digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQs) at 1:12,000-scale. This dataset was developed as part of Georgia's statewide core base map through a coordinated, multi-agency effort to produce large-scale data for transportation, hydrography, wetlands and boundaries.
