Description:
Abstract:
Updated database of the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Amtrak Station database. This database is the Florida subset of the larger geographic data set containing Amtrak intercity railroad passenger terminals in the United States and Canada. Attribute data include services and passenger amenities provided at the station.
Purpose:
The data set provides an updated version of the location and attribute information for all Amtrak stations in the United States and Canada. This data is used for national and network analysis applications.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All points records are represented by a single coordinate pair and a unique feature identifier; the Amtrak Station Code (stored in the STNCODE field). Attribute data can be matched to specific point records using this identifier.
Completeness_Report:
The database contains all the Amtrak thruway bus and rail stations from the Amtrak website and Timetables in the US and Canada as of 2015. As new stations are formed or if they move, this database should be updated accordingly.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
FRA's Amtrak Database was copied and the attributes for each station was compared with the Amtrak website. If there were any dissimilarities, the attribute table was changed. If an address of a station changed, the location of the station was observed to determine if the point had to be moved. If a station location had to be moved, it was done manually. Newly added stations were first but into a separate shapefile (a shapefile for each geographic region) and were added manually by cross-referencing their location with road atlases. Then the shapefiles were added to the database.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
In July 2015 GeoPlan obtained the data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in CDROM format. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks.
-Extracted features where "STATEFIPS" = '12' to select features in Florida -Reprojected Florida selection set from GCS_WGS_1984 to Albers Conical Equal Area (Florida Geographic Data Library) using this transformation: WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida -Added DESCRIPT field based on CITY -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date GeoPlan received the data -Uppercased all fields -Renamed the dataset from amtrk_sta to amtrak_2015

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.

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>
