Description:

Abstract:: This dataset is a subset of The Rail Network representing the state of Florida. The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of the nation's railway system at the 1:100,000 scale. The data set covers all 50 States plus the District of Columbia
Purpose:: The data set provides location and partial attribute information for use in national and regional network analysis applications.
Supplemental_Information:: At the time of publishing the CD significant updates to the layer were underway.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:: GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

The network is topologically connected and the data set is geographically accurate at the 1:100,000 scale or better.

Completeness_Report:

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:: The horizontal accuracy for these data can be stated as being that associated with data compiled at the 1:100,000 scale or better.
The spatial accuracy has increased by using imagery, Railroad centerlines, and the FRA's Automated Geometry Locations.

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_Step:

Process_Description:: In July 2010 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) -Uppercased all fields -Removed fields containing no attributes. -Added DESCRIPT field based on FRAARCID -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date GeoPlan received the data -Renamed the dataset from rail_lines to rails_2010

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>
