- Completeness Report
- This dataset contain all existing rail bridges that cross the hydro features in NTAD's hydropolygon and waterways shapefiles. It should not be considered fully comprehensive as it does not include bridges over hydro features which are not in the two shapefiles mentioned above. It also does not contain rail bridges that crossover non-hydro features.
