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). This Rail Yards layer represents and is derived from where the North American Rail Network (NARN) Lines layer as aggregated by type of track designated as yards. A rail yard is an area consisting of a network of tracks where trains are stored and/or maintained.The NARN Rail Lines dataset is a database that provides ownership, trackage rights, type, passenger, STRACNET, and geographic reference for North America's railway system at 1:24,000 or better within the United States. The data set covers all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Mexico, and Canada. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1528005
North American Rail Network (NARN) Yards can be used within the public, the federal government, rail industry, state DOTs, and academia for routing, mapping and analysis.

Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
The Rail Yards dataset was created using the North American Rail Network (NARN) Lines. The NARN Lines were filtered using the ArcGIS Pro Select Layer By Attribute tool to select records that were populated with a YARDNAME (SQL Expression: "NET" IS 'Yard Tracks' OR "YARDNAME" IS NOT NULL). The filtered selection was then dissolved by "RROWNER1", "YARDNAME", and "STCNTYFIPS” using the ArcGIS Pro Dissolve tool to create a multipart output with dissolved lines. The result is a dataset that represents one Rail Yard per record that is unique by "RROWNER1", "YARDNAME", and "STCNTYFIPS”.
