The dataset provided includes line data for use in geographic information systems that represents all the standard gauge freight and passenger railroad track in North Carolina, and contains the following information: owner, operator, track type, branch, beginning milepost, ending milepost, and in service status. The linework was digitized based on the most recent statewide aerial photography provided by the State of North Carolina. Select segments representing out of service track have been added to the dataset to aid in preserved and future corridor analysis.
