Railroad centerlines

Data format: ArcInfo Coverage

File or table name: railr

Coordinate system: State Plane Coordinate System 1983

Theme keywords: Railroads, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern, Santa Fe
Abstract: This dataset is a line coverage representing the centerlines of railroads in the rural areas of Laramie County.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Data Quality Information:


Attribute accuracy:
Attribute accuracy report:
Railroad centerline alignments were originally entered by using scanned USGS quads

Logical consistency report:
Railroad centerlines are verified by land survey performed on a project basis or as needed.  Tests for logical consistency are performed using vendor software. Arc topology for this dataset is verified prior to distribution, and continuously             throughout the maintenance process.

Completeness report:
Dataset includes railroad centerlines in the area outside the zoned area, an approximate 5 mile radius around the City of Cheyenne.
