Don't kow where you can find the material...but keep looking as I sold or gaveaway my copies of all that meterial about five or so years ago...it's floating around out there someplace!

No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.

Ripley Plan
Posted by Kevin C. Smith on Thursday, November 3, 2011 4:21 AM

     The Winter 2011 issue had a good article about the ICC's Final System Plan and it's precursor, the Ripley Plan. Does anyone know where I can go to find a decent map or maps of what they would have looked like, either regionally or nationally? I have a Google Books download of Ripley's report and it has several small maps but they are too small in scale to be much good. I'm curious as to what the national RR map would have looked like if either plan were to have been adopted.
