What years are you interested in ? The NMRA website has a huge list of links to historic railroads. Back in the 1960's the N&W also took over Ohio RR's like the Akron,Canton & Youngstown and the P&W.V.

The USGS has a treasure trove of historical maps that may help.
I think this is the correct link...
http://library.usgs.gov/maplinks.html

This looks like it may have some good info:

Good luck,
