The Railroad Grade Crossings is a spatial file that originates from the National Highway-Rail Crossing Inventory Program. The program is to provide information to the public, Federal, State, and Local governments, as well as the railroad industry for information and the improvements of safety at highway-rail crossings. The reported crossings’ latitudes and longitudes are not changed in any way due to the Federal Mandate (Form FRA F 6180.71) for Coordinates under 49 CFR Part 234, as railroads and states are legally required to provide geographic coordinates for every crossing. However, crossings are moved to latitude longitude 0,0 if they are geospatially located outside their designated state or located outside the United States through geospatial analysis of selection by location. The underlying reported lat/long are not changed. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529075 Railroad grade crossings are intersections where a roadway crosses a railroad at-grade. This dataset can be used within the public, the Federal Government, rail industry, state DOTs, and academia for mapping and analysis.
