Railroad GIS Learning Center
At a glance
Explore railroad GIS guides on asset management, track mapping, cloud infrastructure, and safety risk analysis. In-depth resources for rail operations teams.
Tiez builds railroad GIS software for Class I, regional, and short line railroads. Teams use maps and
milepost data to manage assets, track, and safety programs in one cloud platform.
Welcome to the Tiez Technologies learning center—an in-depth resource on rail GIS platform topics for railroad operations, engineering, and safety teams. Whether you are evaluating a railway GIS platform for the first time or modernizing legacy systems, these guides explain how GIS for railroads improves asset management, infrastructure planning, and regulatory compliance.
Our articles cover railroad asset management GIS, track mapping and rail infrastructure GIS, cloud-based rail GIS for infrastructure management, and railroad safety and risk management with GIS—including FRA 172.820 hazmat route analysis. Each guide connects industry concepts to practical workflows on modern cloud-native platforms like Tiez RailPlatform.
From Class I carriers to short line railroads, teams increasingly need shared spatial context across dispatch, engineering, maintenance, and compliance. These guides help you understand what to look for in railroad GIS software and how a unified rail GIS platform reduces duplicate data work while improving decision quality.
Featured railroad GIS guides
GIS platform for railroad asset management explains how milepost-accurate asset location and condition tracking transform maintenance and compliance programs. Railroad track GIS mapping software covers track geometry, infrastructure layers, and linear referencing benefits.
Cloud-based rail GIS for infrastructure management describes real-time collaboration and modern platform advantages over legacy desktop GIS. Railroad safety and risk management with GIS explores segment-level analysis, hazard programs, and audit-ready reporting—including workflows demonstrated by Tiez RailProtect.
How to use these railroad GIS guides
Start with the topic closest to your current initiative—asset management modernization, track mapping improvements, cloud migration, or safety and compliance programs—and follow internal links to related guides.
Each article connects industry concepts to practical workflows on Tiez RailPlatform and Tiez RailProtect so you can evaluate technology options with railroad-specific context rather than generic GIS marketing language.
When you are ready to discuss implementation, contact Tiez Technologies for a conversation about your network, regulatory programs, and GIS roadmap.
Modern railroad GIS outcomes
Railroad GIS programs succeed when spatial data is trusted across departments: engineering references the
same mileposts as dispatch, safety teams document hazards on the map maintenance crews use, and compliance
exports cite segment context everyone recognizes. Tiez RailPlatform is designed for that shared operational
picture—reducing duplicate data entry, shortening incident response time, and making regulatory programs
easier to defend during audits.
From hazmat route risk analysis with Tiez RailProtect to broader asset and infrastructure GIS workflows in
development, Tiez helps railroads modernize geospatial operations with cloud-native tools built specifically
for rail networks—not repurposed municipal mapping software.

Tiez publishes practical railroad GIS resources so your team can compare approaches, understand regulatory GIS
workflows, and plan a modernization path before committing to a platform—then pair those guides with a live
product walkthrough tailored to your subdivisions, asset classes, and compliance programs. We welcome
questions from engineering, operations, safety, compliance, and IT stakeholders evaluating railroad GIS.
About Tiez Technologies LLC
Tiez Technologies LLC is a railroad GIS software company building Tiez RailPlatform and Tiez
RailProtect for Class I carriers, regional railroads, and short line operators that need milepost-accurate
spatial data, cloud-native performance, and practical workflows for asset management, track mapping,
infrastructure visibility, and regulatory compliance programs.
Our team combines railroad industry experience with modern software engineering to deliver map-centric
tools that engineering, dispatch, maintenance, safety, and compliance teams can adopt without the
complexity and export cycles of legacy desktop GIS. Tiez RailProtect is live today for FRA 49 CFR
§ 172.820 hazmat route risk management, with additional railroad GIS applications in development on the
same RailPlatform foundation.
Whether you are evaluating a railway GIS platform for the first time or modernizing an existing program,
Tiez provides demos, pilots, and a clear roadmap from evaluation to production. Visit our learning center
for in-depth railroad GIS guides, meet our leadership team, or contact us to discuss your network and
compliance requirements.
Tiez customers benefit from responsive support, railroad-aware product design, and a platform roadmap focused
on practical GIS outcomes—milepost accuracy, audit-ready compliance workflows, and cloud collaboration that
scales from short lines to Class I networks.
