Source and Contraints

Source Map Label: Railways: Corporate Services - Information Technology - GIS (July 2004)
History: Single line (down the middle of the track) digitized from the 1997 Ortho Imagery. Originally created in MicroStation and moved over to SDE in September of 2001. Line work adjusted by Sean Thirtle Nov. 2002. Reviewed spurs, bridges and main lines. Bridges were removed from this layer and copied to the new SDE.Bridge layer. Another review based on the Ortho 2003 imagery was conducted by Sean Thirtle in July of 2004 and minor adjustments were made.
