The link below opens the North American Rail Network (NARN) in an easy to use GIS map.
usdot.maps.arcgis.com
The map and Layers List opens. The Layers List allows you to check and uncheck map layers to view them on the map including Passenger Stations, Grade Crossings, and Yards. I always uncheck the disadvantaged census tracts for clarity.
Zoom in and out using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
Use your pointer and hover over an icon to see a brief description.
Left click on a feature a.k.a rail line, yard, station, etc. to open up a dialogue box with attributes which are kid of self explanatory like RROwner, Division, Subdivision, YardName etc.
The Basemap Gallery opens a dialogue box for selecting alternative basemaps like aerial imagery, Open Street Map, USA Topo, etc.
Hope you find this helpful.
