Georgia Railroads

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission and contains railway features including railroads, rail yards, and public transit rail lines. Features were originally captured from the Georgia Department of Transportation's General Highway Base Map. They have been updated and photo-revised using 1993 digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQs) at 1:12,000-scale. This dataset was developed as part of Georgia's statewide core base map through a coordinated, multi-agency effort to produce large-scale data for transportation, hydrography, wetlands and boundaries.
