UGS maps and aerial photos on a site like Terraserver can be very useful. Particularly if there is a color aerial photo. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=4&S=8&Z=16&X=14546&Y=75128&W=3&qs=%7cmarietta%7cga

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

In the August, 1992 edition of CTC Board they had an article on the West Colton Yard in Southern California. I don't know if they had the yard in Marietta, GA.

Hope this helps.

I'm new, so I don't know if this belongs in this forum or not. Please correct me if needed.

I have Microsoft Train Simulator and I am trying to build a replica of a line and a yard in Marietta GA. Does anyone know where to get detailed maps of yards, with all the spurs and switches, etc.?

I have tried news groups, google, ask.com, yahoo.com, and nothing yet. Thanks....
