This dataset contains the Florida subset of the National Rail Network. The Rail Network is a comprehensive database of the nation's railway system at the 1:100,000 scale or better. This is an update to the rails_2016 layer.
The data set provides location and partial attribute information for use in national and regional network analysis applications.
At the time of publishing the DVD significant updates to the layer were underway.

Spatial and Attribute Information
- Downloaded data from BTS Open Data Portal (http://osav-usdot.opendata .arcgis.com/datasets/2553aa5e457349efb600502050bf9c3c_0). - Extracted features where "STATE" = 'FL' to select features in Florida and saved as rails_2017.shp - Reprojected file into Albers from GCS_WGS_1984 using the WGS_1984_ (ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida transformation. The newest update has been edited by NTAD to better reflect rail lines and therefore does not line up with rails_2016. - Between updates, the COUNTRY field was removed and the OLD_FRAID field was added - Added DESCRIPT field, populated it based on FRAARCID - Added FGDLAQDATE and populated it based on the date GeoPlan received the data - Removed all shape_length and OBJECTID fields - Restructured table - Uppercased all fields

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
