[quote user="nanaimo73"]<p>This is a look at the railroad lines that crossed the Continental Divide in North America. In the "Lower 48 States", the Divide runs through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, and also forms part of Idaho's eastern border. There has never been a railroad line built across the Divide in Alaska.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>An excellent list and my hat's off to your effort and altruisum. Could I suggest you refine it to say that you're covering only the Continental Divide that separates waters flowing between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, since there's no accepted definition of <em>The </em>Continental Divide. My friends at the ARR think that Broad Pass crosses a Continental Divide (between the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea), and who am I to say they are wrong. </p><p>I would also list both divides of the Overland Route in Wyoming. </p><p>S.
