LightRailNodes

Data format: Personal GeoDatabase Feature Class

File or table name: LightRailNodes

Coordinate system: State Plane Coordinate System 1983

Theme keywords: train
Abstract: This datalayer contains STATION LOCATION NODES for the four subway and streetcar lines in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s rapid transit rail network. The four ‘T’ lines - Blue, Green, Orange, and Red - are represented with linework in the LightRailLines layer. . Station names are included The coverage was developed by the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS)

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
