Abstract:
This dataset contains railroad locations in the State of Florida and was created by the Florida Department of Transportation. This product was created using event mapping of Rail tabular data against the Rail Linear Referencing System (LRS) using a unique Rail identifier and mile points from the tabular data. This product is for reference purposes only and is not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. Any reliance on the information contained herein is at the user's own risk. The Florida Department of Transportation assumes no responsibility for any use of the information contained herein or any loss resulting therefrom.
Purpose:
The Railroad feature class covers the state of Florida at a scale of 1:24,000 with a projection system of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 17 North and a horizontal datum of North American 1983 (NAD 1983). The map units are in meters.

Process_Description:
Data received from the Florida Department of Transportation via email from Khaleda.Hatim@dot.state.fl.us on Wed, 12 Feb 2014. When received data was in shapefile format and in UTM Zone 17 NAD83 projection. Data was projected from UTM to FGDL Albers.
The following QaQc procedures were performed: -removed fields OBJECTID and FID_RAILS_ -exported FGDC metadata from version 10.x metadata and imported to 9.x metadata -renamed from rail2014.shp to rails_transtat_2014.shp -upcased all record -added DESCRIPT field based on LINETYPE -added FGDLAQDATE field based on date acquired from source

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>
