- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
All point records are represented by a single coordinate pair and a unique feature identifier; the Amtrak Station Code (stored in the STNCODE field). Attribute data can be matched to specific point records using this identifier.
- Completeness_Report:
-
The database includes all Amtrak railroad and thruway bus stations listed in the Amtrak timetables mentioned above.

- Process_Description:
-
Each Amtrak railroad or thruway bus station identified in the Amtrak Timetables was initially geocoded based on its street address and ZIP Code, using the geocoding procedures in ESRI software and the TIGER/Line(TM) 1995 street centerline databases. Stations with ambiguous street addresses were then located using a combination of geographic cues, including location of nearest railroad tracks, location of Standard Point Location Code (SPLC) place names, location of Census Named Places, and commercial road atlases. Stations with no street address and stations located in Canada were manually located based on place name and location of nearest railroad service.
