Short Line Rail Data Management can be used to map rail infrastructure, edit data, and view maps in the field and office.
It turns ArcGIS into a system for short lines to easily inventory their track and infrastructure and keep information up to date. It provides simple to use interactive rail maps and dashboards for office and field staff, and increases collaboration.
After deploying, organizations with no digital data can immediately begin mapping their systems using GPS or digitizing data with web or desktop software. Organizations with existing spatial data can load it and begin using the apps
