        <ns2:CharacterString>The Amtrak Routes dataset updated September 30, 2025 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 dataset is a single line representation of unique routes that are generated from the North American Railroad Network (Amtrak). It contains a geographic reference of the Amtrak system at 1:24,000 or better and the dataset covers all 50 states and the District of Columbia. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529009</ns2:CharacterString>
      </ns0:abstract>
      <ns0:purpose>
        <ns2:CharacterString>Amtrak routes can be used within the public, the Federal Government, rail industry, state DOTs, and academia for mapping and analysis.</ns2:CharacterString>
