The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines: Class I Freight Railroads 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 dataset is a subset of the NARN Rail Lines dataset that show the ownership and trackage rights for all the Class I freight railroads: “Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF),†"Canadian National (CN) Railway," "Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway," "CSX Transportation," "Norfolk Southern (NS) Railway," "Kansas City Southern (KCS) Railway," and "Union Pacific (UP)". It is derived from the North American Rail Network (NARN) Lines dataset, and for more information please consult, https://doi.org/10.21949/1519415. 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

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

The Ontario Railway Network (ORWN) is seven data classes that represent the Ontario government’s initiative to adapt the federal GEOBASE standard for the National Railway Network (NRWN) geospatial data.

The seven data classes include:

ORWN Track (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Crossing (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Junctions (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Marker Posts (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Structure Lines (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Structure Points (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase) ORWN Station (Download: Shapefile | File Geodatabase)

Although mainly used as a base data features appearing on cartographic products, users will benefit from having additional railway-associated attributes available to them in the ORWN suite of data.

As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the United States. This transportation service depicts railroads based on TIGER/Line data provided through U.S. Census Bureau and road data from U.S. Forest Service. Data include freight lines of the railroad system in the United States, including some light rail and commuter rail lines.. For display and cartographic purposes, please refer to the USGS reference layer for Railroad Labels.Please note that some of the TIGER/Line data includes limited corrections done by USGS. The datasets managed by the U.S. Census Bureau and uncorrected by the USGS are available as map services that include coarse-scale Railroads. The National Map download client allows free downloads of public domain transportation data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats. Additional information on the transportation data model are also available through The National Map.

The Railroad Grade Crossings dataset was updated on July 07, 2024 and was created on October 13, 2024 by 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 Railroad Grade Crossings is a spatial file that originates from the National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory Program. The program is to provide information to the public, Federal, State, and Local governments, as well as the railroad industry for information and the improvements of safety at highway-rail crossings. Some railroad grade crossings were located outside the US or their respective states, and relocated to latitude longitude 0,0.

A point where a railway crosses a road at the same level. The level crossing will be associated both to the road and railway network.

Bridges-Rail in the United States According to The National Bridge Inspection Standards published in the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 650.3), a bridge is: A structure including supports erected over a depression or an obstruction, such as water, highway, or railway, and having a track or passageway for carrying traffic or other moving loads. Each bridge was captured as a point which was placed in the center of the "main span" (highest and longest span). For bridges that cross navigable waterways, this was typically the part of the bridge over the navigation channel. If no "main span" was discernable using the imagery sources available, or if multiple non contiguous main spans were discernable, the point was placed in the center of the overall structure. Bridges that are sourced from the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) that cross state boundaries are an exception. Bridges that cross state boundaries are represented in the NBI by two records. The points for the two records have been located so as to be within the state indicated by the NBI's [STATE_CODE] attribute. In some cases, following these rules did not place the point at the location at which the bridge crosses what the user may judge as the most important feature intersected. For example, a given bridge may be many miles long, crossing nothing more than low lying ground for most of its length but crossing a major interstate at its far end. Due to the fact that bridges are often high narrow structures crossing depressions that may or may not be too narrow to be represented in the DEM used to orthorectify a given source of imagery, alignment with ortho imagery is highly variable. In particular, apparent bridge location in ortho imagery is highly dependent on collection angle. During verification, TechniGraphics used imagery from the following sources: NGA HSIP 133 City, State or Local; NAIP; DOQQ imagery. In cases where "bridge sway" or "tall structure lean" was evident, TGS attempted to compensate for these factors when capturing the bridge location. For instances in which the bridge was not visible in imagery, it was captured using topographic maps at the intersection of the water and rail line. TGS processed 784 entities previously with the HSIP Bridges-Roads (STRAHNET Option - HSIP 133 Cities and Gulf Coast). These entities were added into this dataset after processing. No entities were included in this dataset for American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands because there are no main line railways in these areas. At the request of NGA, text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. At the request of NGA, leading and trailing spaces were trimmed from all text fields. At the request of NGA, all diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The currentness of this dataset is given by the publication date which is 09/02/2009. A more precise measure of currentness cannot be provided since this is dependent on the NBI and the source of imagery used during processing.

Съгласно Закона за защита от шума в околната среда следва да се създаде Стратегическа карта за шум на основните железопътни линии включваща всички железопътни линии, през които преминават над 30 хил. влака годишно. Железопътната мрежа на страната няма участъци с такъв трафик. В случай, че бъдат достигнати минималните изисквания, ще се възложи изготвянето на стратегически карти на шума за съответните участъци.
