This data set is a linear depiction of railway mainline rights of way. Included are the active rail lines as well as the abandoned lines. Each separately owned mainline route is depicted as a single line--multiple tracks, sidings, yards, and industrial spurs are not shown.

Rail lines of Washington State depicted as linework. Each separately owned mainline route is depicted as a single line. Principle routes are shown with selected sidings and yards. Selected bridges and tunnels are depicted cartographically.

PCC Lines are shown by rail line segments. This feature class was built using existing data sources including railroad line track charts, track right-of-way maps, and recently digitized linework based off aerial photos.

Rail stations along the PCC rail line. These are not passenger train stations, but are locations where freight is loaded onto or unloaded off railroad trains. Stations were placed using latitude and longitude coordinates.

This is an extract from the State Highway Log that shows Railroad Crossings that are at the same grade as the state route. State Route identifiers and locations based on State Route Mileposts and Accumulated Route Mileage are also included for geographic reference and for use with the Washington State Department of Transportation's 24k and 500k Linear Referencing Systems. Please direct questions about this dataset to: TransportationGISDataSteward@wsdot.wa.gov. Other notes: RRXingGradeInd attribute definition does not include detail about what the code values mean.

These files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the 1995 TIGER/Line files detailing railroads. This dataset includes railroad tracks, railroad main lines, railroad spurs, railroad yards, railroad ferry crossings, car lines, and cog railroads.

The Washington State Freight and Goods Transportation System (FGTS) classifies freight corridors by modes in Washington state based on annual freight tonnage moved, including truck, rail, and waterway freight corridors. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) designates and updates the FGTS every two years. This dataset depicts the rail freight corridors classified under FGTS system, and provides information on railroad name, segment location, ownership and operators, and corridor classifications in tiers. This dataset is based on rail inventory and volume information collected for data year 2021 and published in 2023 FGTS update.Two other GIS datasets are also available and published for 2023 FGTS update, including FGTS Truck Corridors, and FGTS Waterway Corridors. For more information about FGTS system, please visit https://wsdot.wa.gov/construction-planning/statewide-plans/freight-plans.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) developed this data set in fulfillment of a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to test a conceptual climate risk assessment model developed for transportation infrastructure. WSDOT applied the model using scenario planning in a series of statewide workshops, using local experts, to create qualitative assessment of climate vulnerability on its assets in each region and mode across Washington. For the purposes of this statewide effort, managed assets were defined as sections of highway or railroad, and whole facilities (Ferry Terminal or Airport). Fourteen workshops engaged experts across all WSDOT regions, state ferries, rail, and aviation. The outcome of each workshop was a subjective evaluation of asset vulnerability agreed upon by participants. This feature class contains the results for railroads. This study assumed 100% probability of climate change impacts previously identified in the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group's 2009 assessment. Types of impacts discussed in the workshops with local experts included: temperature changes, increase in extreme weather events, precipitation changes, sea level rise, fire risk, and high winds. The scientific community's understanding of climate impacts continues to evolve as the models and collective understanding of feedback systems improve. We do not have perfect information about exactly how, when, where, and to what magnitude climate changes will unfold in Washington State. After reviewing the extreme weather events and other impacts projected for their area, workshop participants defined sections of highway, rail, or specific facilities with consideration of the local geology, natural and constructed drainage and hydrology, elevation, slope, land use and operational maintenance issues. Once defined, each corridor or facility was then ranked for two variables: asset criticality and potential impact. Asset criticality (which was defined by the workshop participants) should not be confused with other measures such as highway functional class. 1) How critical is that site or corridor to overall transportation operations and public safety? The following scale guided the qualitative assessment of criticality: a. 1-3 = Low - facility/corridor with low daily traffic, available alternate routes, not part of the National Highway System b. 4-6 = Medium - facility/corridor has low to medium daily traffic, serves as an alternate route of other state corridors or facilities c. 7-10 = High - facility/corridor is an Interstate or other major highway, is considered a lifeline route or is the sole access to a population center or critical facility. 2) How might potential climate changes impact site or corridor operations? The following scale guided the assessment of climate impacts: a. 1-3 = Low - Reduced Capacity: facility/corridor partially open to use and full operations can be restored within 10 days b. 4-6 = Medium - Temporary Operational Failure: Facility/corridor closed for hours or days. Reopening or repair could be completed within 60 days. c. 7-10 = High - Complete Failure: facility/corridor likely to require major repair or rebuild with closures lasting more than 60 days These qualitative rankings for impacts and asset criticality and some general descriptions were captured in spreadsheets that were later used to create GIS layers. This data is intended for use in statewide or regional planning and to assist in adapting maintenance and engineering policies and practices to protect our transportation infrastructure over the coming decades. The rankings here were based on our knowledge and understanding at the time of the study, and should only be taken as a best professional estimate for considering potential conditions that might put people or infrastructure at risk. Current information about projected climate changes and asset use and condition should always be taken into account, especially as time progresses.

This georectified digital map portrays geologic formations and mineral lands near the Northern Pacific Railroad in Northern Idaho and Washington Territories in 1882. The original paper map was scanned, georeferenced, and rectified to broaden access and to facilitate use in GIS software.

This map service provides general bridge information for all transportation structures within the Washington State Bridge Inventory System (WSBIS) in Washington State. This includes bridges, large culverts, tunnels, pedestrian & railroads passing over state routes, and pedestrian bridges adjacent to state routes on state right of way. The accuracy and completeness of the transportation structure data (including the structure location) are the responsibility of the structure owner. In cases where pedestrian & railroad structures pass over state or local agency routes, this data may be the responsibility of the route owner under the structure. Note that local agencies do not include a complete inventory of pedestrian & railroad structures in local agency rights of way. Please Note: If there is a vertical clearance restriction related to the bridge/structure, the minimum clearance will appear in either the MinVertClrncOverDeck, MinVertClrncUnderBridge or TunnelMinVertClrncOverRdBy10 fields.

Data Quality ▼►Scope of quality information  ▼►Resource level  attribute Scope description  Attributes The States and railroads maintain their own file and get updated to the FRA. The information is reported to the FRA on the U.S. DOT-ARR Crossing inventory form.

Attributes The quality of the inventory can vary because a record of grade crossing location is being maintained by each state and railroad that is responsible for maintaining its respective information.

Lineage ▼►Lineage statement The data was downloaded from the HWY-Rail Crossing Inventory Files. All crossings that were closed or abandon were queried out of the data. All of the crossings with a zero within the latitude or longitude were queried out. Any crossing outside a bounding box of box ((Latitude >= 18 & Latitude <= 72) AND (Longitude >= -171 & Longitude <= -63)) were queried out.

PCC Lines are shown by major branch lines. This data is used as 1) a linear referencing system (LRS); 2) for locating features on the PCC system by milepost value. PCC lines were built using existing data sources including railroad line track charts, track right-of-way maps, and recently digitized linework based off aeiral photos. In LRS, the locations of both data and events are determined according to their distance along a railroad line from some known point (e.g., the beginning of the line or line segment, a mile marker, a junction with another rail line, or a railroad crossing).

These GIS files represent geographic boundaries for lands that are under the protection of NYS Agricultural District Law, administered by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The boundaries are derived from New York State Agricultural District, 1:24,000-scale, maps produced at county agencies. The district boundaries correspond to tax parcel data. District boundaries are joined into a file representing all of the Agricultural Districts within an entire county. Note that 2003 legislation allows lands to be added to districts on an annual basis. Electronic data provided here may predate those additions. Tax parcel detail and secondary rights-of-way are not included in this dataset. Rights-of-way for state and federal highways, railroads and utilities are only included when they are delineated on the original 1:24,000 scale maps. The data files are in ArcGIS shapefile format.

This does not include abandoned, orphaned, decommisioned, or closed roads on DNR lands. Roads not on DNR Lands are of unknown status are shown in grey. Roads not on DNR lands and of unknown status may not be drivable. IncludesThe ROAD feature class stores the spatial location and attributes of the State of Washington, Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) forest roads and of other DNR, public and selected private roads in the state. Other elements of the transportation network such as ferries, railroads, and trails are not included. ContactWashington State Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR) Engineering DivisionAlexandra WashburnAlexandra.Washburn@dnr.wa.gov Updating EffortsUpdating and editing efforts are primarily focused on roads in DNR managed state lands, adjunct roads or in areas that are covered by a published map that is undergoing an update. The original road lines were entered primarily by digitizing from paper maps, scanning by machine, or derived stereoscopically from black and white photo imagery. They are currently updated and corrected as needed, in most cases using on-line, geo-referenced orthophotography, stereo color imagery, GPS or field survey.Roads on DNR Lands should be edited frequently by division staff.Roads outside of DNR Lands are probably edited much less frequently. The group in mapping that did this, does not do it anymore.AttributesThe ROAD layer includes basic attributes that are linked to the intersection-based road segments. These attributes store information about route id, road name, road number, control, responsibility, status, access, surface, classification, and abandonment.PurposeThis layer is used to help in road infrastructure planning and maintenance, Forest Practices and Road Maintenance and Abandonment Planning (RMAP) compliance reporting, forest management, timber sales planning, and is the basis for the ROAD_ROUTE_FT layer and associated event tables that currently record these maintenance activities and road easements. It is widely used as a layer in cartographic presentations and published maps.
