The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The Rails Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Super Class "Rail Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB tha begin with "R". This includes main lines such as spur lines, rail yards, mass transit rail lines such as carlines, streetcar track, monorail or other mass transit rail and special purpose rail lines such as cog rail lines, incline rail lines and trams. In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles. completed U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Geographic Products Branch 301-763-1128 301-763-4710 4600 Silver Hill Road, Stop 7400 Washington DC DC 20233-7400 geo.tiger@census.gov pointOfContact notPlanned No changes or updates will be made to this version of the TIGER/Line relationship files.
