Quebec Railway Network Linear Features and Attributes

A linear network dataset representing railways in Quebec, containing geometry and attributes such as operator name, owner name, track condition, and subdivision name. The data is sourced from the federal railway geobase and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze track condition across railway subdivisions to prioritize maintenance planning.
• Map railway network geometry with operator and owner name attributes for infrastructure asset management.
• Integrate subdivision name and geometry data for regional transportation network analysis.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative federal railway geobase.
• Provides multiple file formats including SHP, GEOJSON, and GPKG for interoperability.
• Includes attributes like operator name, owner name, and track condition for detailed analysis.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and dataset size limit assessment of statistical power.
• No column list or sample data available to verify data structure and completeness.
• Relies on automated translation for some metadata, which may introduce inaccuracies.
