Superfund Sites in Proximity to Railroads Map Legend • NPL Sites within .25 mile of Inactive and Active Rail (731 sites) Inactive Railroads (abandoned, out of service or railbanked lines) Active Railroads (ferry, main sub network, and non-mainline active track) Disclaimer: This product is for informational purposes only. It does not represent an on-the-ground survey and represents only the approximate relative location of features. Data Source: 2012 Railway Network data available from the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) http://www.bts.gov/publications/national_transportation_atlas_database/2012/ The 2012 Railway Network data categorizes railroads by activity type. Railroads identified as "abandoned" and "out of service" were grouped into an "inactive" category. Some abandoned corridors couid also include railbanked lines. Railroads identified as ferry, main sub network and non-mainline active track were grouped into "active" railroads.
