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. Attributes:COUNTY_FIP = Standard 3-digit County FIPS codes.

Definition For the purposes of this dataset, Rail or Railway is defined as: A transportation system using one or more rails to carry freight or passengers. Abstract The Foundation Rail Infrastructure feature dataset is part of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework theme for Transport. The Foundation Rail Infrastructure feature dataset is specifically made up of Rail line features (Railways, Rail Sidings and Tramline including Light Rail) and Rail points (Stations). This feature class represents a national aggregation of the spatial locations and attributes of line and point features, of publicly available data. Rail Infrastructure information has been derived from various sources provided by data custodians including Spatial Services (NSW), Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (QLD), Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (VIC), Land Tasmania (TAS) and Department of Infrastructure and Transport (SA). The coverage is across all states and territories however due to restrictive licensing, Geoscience Australia data was used as the source data for Western Australia (lines and points), the Northern Territory (lines and points) and South Australia (points). Data published by Victoria falling within South Australia has been included (points). Further information on datasets provided by State and Territory custodians can be found under Source Information in this metadata statement. Currency Date modified: 7 June 2021 Modification frequency: As needed Data extent Spatial extent North: -12.424680° South: -43.455040° East: 153.613384° West: 113.616611° Source information eCat published version at https://ecat.ga.gov.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/145400 Lineage statement Data supplied to Geoscience Australia from the custodians was processed to perform geometry validation (checks to remove corrupt geometries) and transform the attribute values to the national schema. Minor spatial modifications have taken place to update attribute information in the source data for the national specification. During translation, the length of the features in kilometres was also calculated (LENGTH_KM) using a geodesic distance calculation. The Digital Atlas data team have republished and hosted the data as three separate layers:

Railways, Rail Sidings, Tram Lines.

The symbology applied displays the layers as operational or not operational, however queries can be performed using any operational status, refer to the data dictionary for filters and query options. The date of extraction May 2023. Data dictionary Railway Lines
