RETIRING

This GDA94 service is scheduled for retirement.

Please begin transitioning to the GDA2020 service and update any maps, applications, or workflows that currently reference this service.

You can access the new GDA2020 Service here:

Railway - NSW Transport Theme - GDA2020 Service

NSW Transport Theme - Railway

Please Note

WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94
This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.
In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.

Content Title	NSW Transport Theme - Railway
Content Type	Hosted Feature Layer
Description	NSW Transport theme Railway represents a permanent way of having one or more rail lines which provide tracks for vehicles. A railway can be heavy rails, light rail, monorail and heavy rail siding, for example a railway, tramway or monorail. This data is held and maintained within the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Transport theme and includes key attributes such as railway name and on-type (e.g onground, onbridge, intunnel etc). Data in Railway includes: Heavy Rail - A track or set of tracks of iron or steel rails used for the passage of trains. Heavy Rail Siding - A short branch off a railway track, often connected at both ends to the mainline track, and used for shunting or for loading, unloading, and storing goods trucks. This line feature dataset is part of the Digital Topographic. Lightrail - A track or set of tracks of iron or steel rails used for the passage of light rail. Monorail - A railway track that consists of a single rail or beam. Transport data is used for: Delivering emergency services Mapping, charting and navigation Planning for and delivering resources and services Asset management Infrastructure planning and development. Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians, by data verification from other internal and external databases, by field investigation and research, as well as through Spatial Services’ regular cycle of updating aerial imagery.

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets	NSW Transport Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
Accuracy	This dataset was captured by utilising the best available source at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
