Ctrl C and Ctrl V are your new best friend. To wit: <br /> <br />According to the "Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Standard Plans for Maintenance of Way and Construction", dated December 1907, the edge of a low platform should be 2'-6" from the inside of the nearest rail, or 4'-10 1/4" from track centerline. The edge should also be 4" higher than the top of the rail and slope up to the station building at a rate of 1/4" per foot. The station building should be a minimum of 16'-0" from the edge of platform.
