Description:

This is a 1:24,000-scale datalayer that includes all of the railroads that appear on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7½ minute topographic quadrangle maps that cover the State of Connecticut. It includes railroad tracks, sidings, underpasses, stations, etc. Since this datalayer was derived from the USGS Digital Line Graph Files (DLG) for the 1:24,000 scale Connecticut quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984, it does not depict all railroads in use today. In fact, some abandoned railroads currently may be used as hiking trails. EPA obtained this data from the State of Connecticut.
