The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines dataset was created in 2016 and was updated on April 09, 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

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office Locations dataset was created on October 13, 2022 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). These locations show FRA office locations, based on railroad company and Safety Management Teams (SMTs). The Safety Management Teams serve as the Office of Railroad Safety's main liaison with the senior leadership of the Nation's railroads. Each of the nine Safety Management Teams is assigned to either a Class I railroad or a group of railroads and provides safety oversight of the respective railroad system(s). The Safety Management Teams represent FRA with the railroads, and they communicate and coordinate with FRA's Staff Directors, Accident Analysis Branch, Audit Management Program, and other Safety Management Teams.

This dataset contains point features that represent Railroad Crossings in Central Ohio. Each highway-rail or pathway crossing is assigned a unique alphanumeric seven digit identifier by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) as a part of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. This unique identifier is stored in a national database that can be used to quickly retrieve information about the physical and operating characteristics of both public and private crossings. In addition, this information can be used by Emergency Personnel to quickly and accurately locate calls for service. This unique identifier is commonly referred to as a "Railroad Crossing ID" or "FRA Number". Each Railroad Crossing must have this number posted on a metal plate at each crossing. Many crossings have a sign that includes the name of the railroad and an emergency contact telephone number in addition to the Railroad Crossing ID.This information can be retrieved remotely from the Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Safety Analysis' website at: http://safetydata.fra.dot.gov/OfficeofSafety/PublicSite/Crossing/Crossing.aspx
