There is no such Atlas available. It you think aout it, it would be enormous for full coverage of the U. S.: it would fill your trunk. It takes Steam Powered Video 16 volumes to cover the entire country and it ONLY shows railroads and a few natural features like lakes and rivers. The Delorme Atlas series show railroads but the only thing shown is the track alignment and ownership and it often is very hard to follow. Also the size of the book makes it hard to use in a car. And the type is small. The map sold for $29.95 at this site http://www.deskmap.com/railroad.html used to be sold by Rand McNally for $$9.95. As noted above I don't see it listed there anymore. Maybe eBay. It was called "United States Railroads," ISBN 1-929324-00-6. It only shows general track alignment , stations and track ownership (no trackage or haulage rights). Delorme publishses two software packages, "Street Atlas" and "Map Print Pack," which show railroads. The information is outdated, ownership of the track is NOT shown nor are stations. And the railroad information only shows up at rather extreme magnificartion when street names are shown. They both can be used with a GPS device sold by Delorme so they could be used with a laptop in a car to help find the tracks from wherever you might be. Sonrisa Publications at www.djcooley.com sells a series of "Railroad Map Books" covering nine western states. They are in Employee TimeTable format and do show major roads, i.e. Interstate, U.S.and State highways. All stations, detectors, etc. are shown. None of these show anything like the information in the Altamont Press "Railfan TimeTables." See www.altamontpress.com for details. Like the Sonrisa "Railroad Map Rooks," they only cover the western states. My health won't permit me to travel anymore but if could I would get the Sonrisa maps and annotate them with the info from the Altamont Press "Railfan TimeTables."
