Summary

The Rail line feature class represents a subset of all rail alignments segmented by milepost as listed in the California Regional Timetable 20, specifically Union Pacific and BNSF lines.

Description

****** To highlight all potential crude by rail routes in California. This is a subset of the Caltrans "California Rail Network" dataset. The subset is of the Union Pacific and BNSF routes, the two transporters of crude by rail in CA. Please visit the Caltrans GIS Data Hub web page for the original data. ******

The purpose of the data is to represent the rail network using available reference data and information contained in the California Region Timetable 20. The Rail feature class contains alignment for passenger and freight railroad lines, including commuter rail and heavy rail. The Rail feature class allows for the selection of all passenger, commuter, recreational, freight, and shortline rail alignment in California with the exception of BART.
