Expand infrastructure management and maintenance planning with cutting-edge railroad GIS data.
Capture the most reliable rail
system insights.
As the vertebrae of America, railways are critical conduits for both the supply chain and daily commutes. To ensure the continuous, safe movement of both people and products, railroad GIS mapping that analyzes and shares geospatial data is essential. To solve urgent problems and minimize hazards, you need the most accurate public land survey system (PLSS) data available — down to the lots, tracts, and quarter-quarters, including private surveys.
Get ready to visualize and monitor land data with confidence.

Questions about the plan that’s right for you?
Let’s talk.
Transform rail operations by fast-tracking digitization of your infrastructure.
Rail has always been a modern marvel, but advances in railroad GIS data are making it possible to redefine rail’s impactful role in modern transportation and supply chain systems. With comprehensive, accurate land grid data, you can make critical rail maintenance decisions, digitally map centerlines, and more.
-
Organize rail infrastructure inventory.
Exceptional rail asset management begins with a comprehensive inventory. Accurate railroad GIS data can identify the precise locations of all your crucial rail and track assets, signaling and communications equipment, and more.
-
Manage rights-of-way.
Properly managed rights-of-way ensure the best use of space — not to mention profitability and safety. A complete understanding of where your rights-of-way fall on any given property is critical for optimal performance and revenue. Our railroad GIS mapping gives you the most precise property information.
-
Refine operational decision-making.
Effective yard management begins with understanding where state and county boundaries are located, along with which resources are available or undergoing maintenance within those boundaries.
