- Abstract:
-
The Coaster Rail coverage was created as part of the Tijuana River Watershed GIS database base project. It includes information on the coaster stations and location of the tracks that the Coaster operates on within the vicinity of the watershed.
- Purpose:
-
The Tijuana River Watershed GIS Database project provides a fully integrated cross border geographic information system. It is important to understand the transportation opporutnities and linkages that exist in and around the Tijuana River Watershed.

- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
All attributes created during the data generation phase were verified by comparing in both the dataset and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
- Completeness_Report:
-
The Coaster coverage was created by extracting linework from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) railroad coverage. At the time of coverage completion, the linework is believed to be correct.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.

-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
The data were created using existing digital data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the source material is unknown.

- Process_Description:
-
The data was first collected from the San Diego Association of Governments website. The SANDAG data was reprojected from its original STATEPLANE, NAD83 to the Tijuana River WAtershed standard of UTM, NAD83. The rail lines pertinent to the usage by the Coaster was SELECTED and PUT into a new coverage using the item in the original railroad coverage that delineated which rail lines the Coaster was active.
