Maps. Look at old USGS survey maps for the cities. Check the date the map was compiled since rail yards & routes in your selected city will likely have undergone radical changes since the period you are discussing. City libraries have historical archive sections with maps, photos etc that might be helpful if you are in or near either of the two. <br /> <br />Sounds like you are thinking about mainlines passing miles of freight yards & building flats. This could become the ultimate switching layout. <br /> <br />Wayne
