When received, the data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees. The data was reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN, the "descript" item was added based on the existing items 'railroad", and lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased.
200208052002Bureau of Transportation Statistics2000FLORIDA RAIL NETWORK1:100,000map2000publication dateBTSU.S. Census BureauGeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects
1.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below)
2.) Upcased all character records
3.) Added Descipt item based on RailroadThe FRA reports the following fields as incomplete: Signals, Density Code ,Military Flag - applied only in some states, Abandonment Year Also, the Federal Railway Administration (FHA) reports that as many nodes as possible have been identified with a name. There are likely more that are not easily identified. Many nodes in the 1:100,000 scale rail network are 'mapped' to a node in the 1:2,000,000 scale rail network.Special note concerning trackage rights: In some cases, a 'shortline'railroad may operate on its larger railroad connection(s) as its billing railroad. For example, the larger railroad(s) treat traffic originating or terminating on the short line as if it were originating or terminating its own line; perform the billing, car reporting, and car tracking; then share the revenue with the short line. These trackage rights may exist as four, five, or six in the sequence, while one and two remain empty. The dataset provides location and attribute information for use in national and regional cartographic and network analysis applications.Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.
