It is a planning level dataset orginally developed at a scale of 1:24,000. Due to gaps in the linework (see Logical Consistency), this data is recommended for statewide or regional scale uses, as viewing at large scales will reveal these gaps. This dataset does not contain network connectivity and is not usable for routing applications.

These lines were edited for accuracy in 2006-2007 and additional rail lines and rail spurs were created by referencing the 2003 Farm Service Agency (FSA) color orthophotography. The dataset has been updated continuously as information has come in to the Office of Freight and Commercial Vehicle Operations, Freight, Railroads, and Waterways Section. 2015 State of Minnesota The attributes have been reviewed and are deemed to be accurate No specific integrity tests have been performed, but there are known gaps in the linework. Entire state is covered, but linework gaps exist. Locational accuracy for features derived from USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles cannot be assumed to exceed National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale maps (+/- 40 feet or 12 meters). In addition, linework may not accurately reflect aerial imagery in some areas. Not Applicable Sources: USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles 2003 Farm Service Agency (FSA) aerial photography Minnesota Rail Grade Crossings - (RAIL_ADMIN.RAIL_POINT_HISTORY) Process Steps: The lines were originally digitized from the U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 scale topographic maps. During 1990-1995, the BaseMap data layers were digitized from USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles using MicroStation CADD. A total of 1745 quadrangles were digitized. For any given area, MnDOT used the most recent quadrangle available at that time. The digital MicroStation CADD files were converted from State Plane Coordinates to UTM and then converted into ARC/INFO coverages. The ARC/INFO files were merged into a statewide, seamless coverage and attributes were added. The coverage was later converted to an SDE Feature Class. The measures attached to this linework were calibrated from milepoints in MnDOT's "Minnesota Rail Grade Crossings" dataset. This work is done in GIS any time there is a change (adding a line, adjusting a crossing, etc.) This data originates the MnDOT's internal data warehouse. It is used to populate the MnDOT basemap and is provided to users who request a layer of all active rail lines. The dataset has been updated when information has come in to the Office of Freight and Commercial Vehicle Operations, Freight, Railroads, and Waterways Section. https://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/mgmg/metadata.htm mn_rail lines MnDOT OBJECTID Internal feature number ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated Shape Feature geometry ESRI Coordinates defining the features RAILROAD_S Unique route number field MnDOT MAIN_RR_OP The letter code representing the name of the railroad MnDOT Class I Railroads: BNSF BNSF MnDOT CN Canadian National MnDOT CP Canadian Pacific MnDOT UP Union Pacific MnDOT Class I Subsidiaries: MnDOT CEDR Cedar River Railroad MnDOT DME Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad MnDOT DMIR Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway MnDOT DWP Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway MnDOT SOO Soo Line MnDOT WC Wisconsin Central MnDOT Class II Railroads: RCPE Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern MnDOT Class III and Private Railroads: CTRR Cloquet Terminal MnDOT LSMR Lake Superior & Mississippi MnDOT MDW Minnesota, Dakota & Western MnDOT MNN Minnesota Northern MnDOT MNNR Minnesota Commercial MnDOT MPLI Minnesota Prairie Line MnDOT MSWY Minnesota Southern MnDOT NLR Northern Lines MnDOT NPR Northern Plains MnDOT NMCZ NorthShore Mining MnDOT NSSR North Shore Scenic MnDOT OTVR Otter Tail Valley MnDOT PGR Progressive Rail MnDOT RRVW Red River Valley & Western MnDOT SCXY St. Croix Valley MnDOT TCWR Twin Cities & Western MnDOT ZLTV LTV Steel Mining MnDOT RR_DIVISIO The name of the rail division MnDOT RR_SUBDIVI The name of the rail subdivision MnDOT RR_SECTION The name of the section MnDOT COMMENTS A field to hold miscellaneous comments from editors MnDOT Shape_Length Geometry field for maintaining the length of the rail linework ESRI Class 1 Railroads and Ownership Codes This table is intended to help with map labeling by providing the subsidiary "operator" codes for each class l rail line.
