Description:
Abstract: The Amtrak Stations database is a geographic data
set containing Amtrak intercity railroad passenger
terminals in the United States and Canada. Attribute
data include services and passenger amenities provided
at the station.
Purpose: The data set provides location and attribute
information for use in national and regional
cartographic and network analysis applications.

Data_Quality_Information
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attribute data were extracted
from the station listings in the Spring/Summer 2000
Amtrak National and Summer/Fall 2000 Amtrak Northeast
Timetables, and reflect station characteristics as of
July 9, 2000. Additional data, as required, were
obtained from earlier year timetables.
Logical_Consistency_Report: All point records are
represented by a single coordinate pair and a unique
feature identifier; the Amtrak Station Code (stored in
the FEATURID field). Attribute data can be matched to
specific point records using this identifier.
Completeness_Report: The database includes all Amtrak
railroad and thruway bus stations listed in the Amtrak
timetables mentioned above. Also included are 1)Amtrak
railroad stations listed in earlier releases of this
database that are now closed and 2) future Amtrak
stations that can be identified from either their
inclusion in the timetables or published intentions to
increase Amtrak service. Regional commuter railroad
stations that are not also served by Amtrak are not
included in this version; those stations are currently
included in the Fixed-Guideway Transit Network
database. The database does not include information on
passenger boardings; those data are considered to be
proprietary by Amtrak.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Stations having
valid street addresses were geocoded to 1995
TIGER/Line(TM)street and railroad centerline
files. Positional accuracy for those points is
consistent with the accuracy of 1995
TIGER/Line(TM) files, or within about 50 meters of
their true position. Stations with ambiguous or
incomplete street addresses (and stations located
in Canada) were positioned using a combination of
street name, nearest railroad centerline, and
place name. Positional accuracy for these points
may vary from 100 to 1000 meters of their true
location. The PA attribute indicates the
estimated 'goodness' of the location.

Process_Step:
Process_Description: Each Amtrak railroad or thruway bus
station identified in the Amtrak Timetables was
initially geocoded based on its street address and ZIP
Code, using the geocoding procedures in TransCAD (TM)
software and the TIGER/Line(TM) 1995 street centerline
databases. Stations with ambiguous street addresses
were then located using a combination of geographic
cues, including location of nearest railroad tracks,
location of Standard Point Location Code (SPLC) place
names, location of Census Named Places, and commercial
road atlases. Stations with no street address and
stations located in Canada were manually located based
on place name and location of nearest railroad service.

address using the TIGER/line (TM) 95 street
and the FRA 1:100K rail networks
Enumerated_Domain_Value: E100 - The location was
placed manually using the TIGER/line(TM) 95
street and the FRA 1:100K rail networks, but
because the location did not have a specific
street address, the location is an estimated
or educated guess.
Enumerated_Domain_Value: 2MIL - The location of the
station was outside the area covered by the
TIGER/line(TM) 95 street and the FRA 1:100K
rail networks. Hence, the station location was
placed using the FRA 1:2Million scale networks.
Enumerated_Domain_Value: UNKN - The data for the
longitude and latitude were taken from previous
versions of this database. However, there was
insufficient information, namely an unidentifiable
street address, to allow a definitive review of
the placement.
