 "description": "The North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Yards dataset was created in 2024 and was updated on April 29, 2026 from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD).
