<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This feature class depicts railroad tracks within Fort Worth. Ownership of each individual track segment is documented, although trackage rights are not noted. Large railroads divide their network into subdivisions, and the subdivision operating each track segment is also documented in this data.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Railroad tracks can be categorized into several different types depending on use, and this documented in the feature class. Mainlines are through tracks used by trains traveling between locations, and these are labeled M1 or M2 (M = Main. Double-tracked mains will have both M1 and M2 side by side.) For large scale mapping purposes, filtering the data on TRACK_TYPE IN M1 or M2 is recommended. Yards are local tracks used to disassemble, sort, reassemble, and store trains. Spurs are tracks used to deliver cars to customers for loading and unloading.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This data is from an unknown source and was loaded to the CFWGIS database in 2011. Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) current </SPAN><A href="https://geodata.bts.gov/datasets/usdot::north-american-rail-network-lines/about" target="_blank" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>North American Rail Network</SPAN></A><SPAN> (NARN) dataset was created in 2016, so this data may be based on an older FRA dataset which is no longer available.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Transportation Public Works operates a Railroad Safety Program to coordinate railroad crossing upgrades and quiet zones.
