I like the 1950's-era Hammond World Atlas, which has a page for each state and shows all the rail lines identified by RR--pre-pre-mergers, such as NC&StL, I-GN, CCC&STL, T&NO, etc. It even shows the RGS in Rico, Colorado! Anyway, I have found several copies in used bookstores around the country. Problem is that it is perfect-bound, and the adhesive gets brittle, so with use the pages can fall out. <br />I started railfanning with a trip West in 1963 and had that Atlas with me then. It is very accurate, showing curves etc, although no topographic or highway information. I am never without it. In the early days, this atlas and an old Official Guide were all you needed to identify the lines. (Note: Later versions of the Hammond atlas forsook the RR lines and show highways instead.)
