The Rail line feature class located in the Rail Feature Dataset represents all rail alignments segmented by milepost as listed in the California Regional Timetable 20.
The purpose of the data is to represent the rail network using available reference data and information contained in the California Region Timetable 20. The Rail feature class contains alignment for passenger and freight railroad lines, including commuter rail and heavy rail. The Rail feature class allows for the selection of all passenger, commuter, recreational, freight, and shortline rail alignment in California with the exception of BART.

Contains the Subdivision name as listed in California Regional Timetable 20. The qualifier for each subdivision is included with the name, (lead, branch, line), with the exception of the qualifier 'subdivision', which is inherent in the field name. Duplicate subdivision names such as 'Main Line' on many shortline holdings, require selection by more than one field to isolate unique features.
