Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Indiana Department of Transportation Publication_Date: 20060808 Title: RAIL_SYSTEM_INDOT_IN: Rail System of Indiana, 2006 (Indiana Department of Transportation, 1:1,200, Line Shapefile) Edition: 1 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Indianapolis, Indiana Publisher: Indiana Department of Transportation Other_Citation_Details: This data set was provided to personnel of the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) by Venetta Holifield Keefe, Freight Rail Planner, Office of Railroads, Multi-Modal Transportation Division, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) (317-232-1474). The data was originally provided in the form of a ESRI ArcGIS shapefile named "RAILROADS_TRAFFIC_2006.SHP." Metadata were prepared using the metadata that accompanied the shapefile, along with additional information provided by Venetta Keefe. Online_Linkage: http://igs.indiana.edu/arcims/statewide/download.html Description: Abstract: RAIL_SYSTEM_INDOT_IN is a line shapefile that shows the 2006 rail system of Indiana. It is derived from data provided by personnel of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Recent 2006 edits to this data set include removal of abandoned rail lines and inclusion of ownership changes. New attribute fields have been added by INDOT personnel to include items such as contact names, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and freight classifications. The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by INDOT, Office of Railroads, for the source shapefile named RAILROADS_TRAFFIC_2006.SHP: "RAILROADS_TRAFFIC_2006.SHP is a line shapefile delineating the railroad tracks within the State of Indiana. The dataset was generated at a scale of 1:1200." Purpose: This data was developed to provide general information regarding the 2006 rail system of Indiana to the public in the form of a GIS layer. The following is excerpted from the metadata provided by INDOT, Office of Railroads, for the source shapefile named RAILROADS_TRAFFIC_2006.SHP: "To provide a digital coverage of the active rail lines for the State of Indiana, suitable for use in GIS. The data were derived from preexisting INDOT basemap, the State of Indiana 2005 Rail System Map, and an old Indiana Rail System Map (showing abandoned rail lines)."

This shapefile contained the 2006 rail system for Indiana. This shapefile was loaded into ESRI ArcMap 9.1. ESRI ArcMap was then used to examine this data set, and was used to remove the following attribute fields; "County," "County_Nam," and "County_No." The data set was saved to an ESRI shapefile named RAIL_SYSTEM_INDOT_IN.SHP.
