- Abstract
- This polyline data layer represents railroads for Wisconsin in 1998. The dataset was originally published by the Wisconsin Department of Administration on January 12, 1999.[This data layer is a line shapefile of the railroads in Wisconsin as of 1998.]
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [This data layer is for use in generalized mapping applications. The level of accuracy does not support detailed local analysis. The data layer is intended for use with GIS software, such as Arc View, ARC/INFO, or ArcExplorer.]
- Supplemental Information
- AGSL staff supplemented original metadata. For official metadata please see WisconsinDOTRailroads.htm.

- Process Step
- Description
- [The Rails Chain database was produced by changing the 1:100000 scale DLG's from planar to nonplanar, altering the number, names and content of attributes, and re-tiling the quadrangles to statewide extent. For a more detailed explanation, see the Rail Chain Conversion documentation Rails Chain Database section of the Location Control Management (LCM) Manual, WisDOT, Madison, Wisconsin. The Arc/Info coverage received from WisDOT was originally in WTM27. It was converted into WTM83/91 and a shapefile was created from it.]
