Abstract
The Foundation Rail Infrastructure feature dataset is part of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework theme for Transport. The Foundation Rail Infrastructure feature dataset is specifically made up of Rail line features (Railways, Rail Sidings and Tramline including Light Rail) and Rail points (Stations). This feature class represents a national aggregation of the spatial locations and attributes of line and point features, of publicly available data. Rail Infrastructure information has been derived from various sources provided by data custodians including Spatial Services (NSW), Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (QLD), Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (VIC), Land Tasmania (TAS) and Department of Infrastructure and Transport (SA). The coverage is across all states and territories however due to restrictive licensing, Geoscience Australia data was used as the source data for Western Australia (lines and points), the Northern Territory (lines and points) and South Australia (points). Data published by Victoria falling within South Australia has been included (points). Further information on datasets provided by State and Territory custodians can be found under Source Information in the metadata statement.

Series Information
Lineage
Data supplied from the custodians was processed with Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) workbench(s) to standardise the datum to GDA2020 (EPSG:4844), perform base geometry validation (checks to remove erroneous or corrupt geometries) and transform the attribute values to the national schema. Minor spatial modifications have taken place to update attribute information in the source data for the national specification. During translation, the length of the features in kilometres was also calculated (LENGTH_KM) from the automatically generated SHAPE_length feature using a projection.
