This layer represents named passenger, commuter and freight train stations, as developed by the Central Transportation Planning Staff (CTPS). The data include the MBTA Commuter Rail stations. Stored in ArcSDE and distributed as a shapefile, the statewide layer is named TRAINS_NODE. Other related datasets include TRAINS_ARC (railroad lines) and TRAINS_RTE_TRAIN (MBTA Commuter Rail Routes).
Data are current as of December 23, 2021.
The political boundary datalayer is a 1:25,000 scale datalayer containing the boundaries of the 351 communities (cities and towns) in Massachusetts. The seaward boundary of coastal communities has been defined at mean high water in this datalayer. The datalayer is named TOWNS_POLY. Note that the 351 communities are the official municipal names, not including "villages" or other sections of towns. This layer contains "multi-part" polygons -- only one record for each of the 351 municipalities in the state -- meaning towns with islands are treated as one feature. This layer was created by dissolving the single-part TOWNS_POLY layer.
