[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by mudchicken</i> <br /><br />Kansas City to Detroit is roughly about 750 miles by railroad... <br /> <br />(1) What tiking is not going to get is a set of railroad track charts (i.e. schematics) for rhe surviving lines. Non-railroaders won't get those ever. Most would not understand the bulk of what they are telling the reader anyhow. <br /> <br />(2)Getting ICC val Maps for that section would set you back about $8000 if you could purchase them from the railroad for at least 200+sheets or more given typical railroad cadastre. Being the size of the order going to a non railroader/surveyor/engineer, the Feds will right over to see you with a one way ticket to Guantanamo in hand. <br /> <br />(3)Getting the more outdated version of the ICC Val Mapsfrom Archives II will put you back about $10,000. <br /> <br />Then we get back to what you think is "very detail"[?]....Do a better job of forming your question Stick to Terraserver, Norfolk Southern's website and a few old timetables, the rest is beyond your reach and none of your business anyhow. <br /> <br />[banghead][banghead][banghead] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks all for reply but Munchicken are you angry at me? Did I ask something stupid? I didn't mean to stir up anything. When I said detail I expect an absolut detail track for track but more of a general overview of the mainline and possible sidings if possible. <br /> <br />Thanks for answering though.[B)]
