the official website of the office of geographic and environmental information (massgis) massgis home mass.gov home state agencies state online services     datalayers/gis database   trains - april 2004 download this layer: arcinfo export file (.e00) | esri shapefile [as self-extracting executables, with arcview legend files (.avl) and arcmap layer file (.lyr)] overview the central transportation planning staff updated and enhanced railroad linework distributed by the united states geological survey (usgs) as 1:100,000 digital line graphs (dlgs). the original 1:100,000 dlg data were conflated to the orthophoto-derived 1:5,000 centerline linework. this data layer is much more detailed than pre-april 2004 trains data and has many more abandoned rail lines. in many instances there is more than one track per rail line, and rail yards and spurs are included. ctps added several attributes pertaining to type of service, mbta commuter rail status and stations (current and proposed, including the greenbush line), rail line ownership, and freight and passenger operation. stored in arcsde and distributed as shapefiles, the statewide layers include arcs (trains_arc), nodes (station locations, trains_node) and routes (trains_rte_train). massgis also makes available an arcinfo coverage version named trains. other tranportation linework that appears on the usgs 1:100,000-scale maps, such as pipelines and transmission lines, are included in the trnslns layer. the mbta subway lines are included in the mbta layer. production ctps transferred the attributes from the old trains data layer and has added many more. ctps used track charts, railroad timetables, old maps, university of new hampshire website, railroad websites, books, rail experts and field work for sources of information. the lines and branches in the arc layer represent the most current name for the rail line while the route feature class has more names for same line. one line may be named differently and have different beginning and ending points because of historic changes or because of passenger operations and freight operations on the line. the route system contains routes based on several sources. the route source item identifies its source. the karr_rt is the numbering system depicted in the rail line of southern new england by ronald karr. the 188 routes include the amtrak downeaster, amtrak northeast corridor, the mbta commuter rail lines, and others. segments of rail trails that are in the railroad right-of-way have been added. track numbers were coded where track charts were available to delineate them. the node layer contains station names and links to the federal railroad administration's crossing database (crossing), the national bridge inventory (bin, alt-bin) and masshighway road inventory data layer (csn). massgis received an arcinfo coverage from ctps and converted the route and node layers directly to arcsde format. the arc feature class was dissolved on #all in arcinfo to remove pseudo-nodes before being imported to sde. using the arcplot commands annocoverage and nodetext, massgis created three subclasses of annotation from the station item in the node attribute table: anno.comm for large scale maps, and anno.large and anno.large2 for regional scale maps. in each subclass, level 1 is for active stations, level 2 for proposed stations. the annotation subclasses are contained in the coverage version of the layer. attributes the trains_arc attribute table (.aat in the coverage) includes the following items: item name
