Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains railroad locations within the state of Florida from the July 2008 Tele Atlas dataset. At a minimum, linear representation is consistent with the Census 1990 TIGER/Line(R) files.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Railroad layer is to represent the locations of the railroad systems in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The Railroad layer can be used in conjunction with Street and Landmark layers to create visually appealing maps.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
At a minimum, the Railroad layer contains B* FCC segments consistent with the Census Bureau's CFCCs. Contiguous segments are chained by Name and County. The Railroad layer is not generalized.
Completeness_Report:
After processing, the dataset is checked for drawing display, correct number of records, record schema consistency with specifications, correct file naming, file sizes and a comparison check with the contents of the Tele Atlas(R) database at the time of creation.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
At a minimum, horizontal accuracy is consistent with Census 1990 TIGER/Line(R) files. The Tele Atlas(R) on-going realignment work includes realigning railroad segments.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Process_Description:
Tele Atlas(R) extracts the dataset quarterly from the Tele Atlas(R) database using proprietary software. Data then is converted into multiple GIS formats. ISO quality standards are enforced throughout the production process.
Data originally released by Tele Atlas in July 2008 on DVD. When received, data was in the following projection: Geographic Lat Long Datum D_WGS_1984, Units: Decimal Degrees.
The GeoPlan QA/QC and standardization process included the following steps: 1. The data was renamed from flxxxrr to gdt_railroads_jul08.shp 2. The data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. 3. Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME 4. Added field FGDLAQDATE 5. Added AUTOID based on FID+1 6. Standardized Metadata

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
