Brief 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.
The USGS 7½ minute topographic quadrangle maps can be purchased at the
DEP Store.
