OpenRailwayMap is a website enabling you to check the track plan of your favourite prototype location.

While not yet 100% accurate, it is a great resource for model railroader, following a prototype closely.

Thanks for sharing that fascinating site, Ulrich!

The sections of the maps that I browsed had lots of interesting data and was accurate as far as I could tell, even showing a 1 mile branch in my old neighborhood that had been abandoned in 1961.

With the maps open in one tab and Google Earth in another it makes for a very interesting, and time consuming, study.

regards, Ed

Thanks Ulrich, excellent site !  I can't figure out how to add it my favorites list in Windows 10.  There is no "add to favorites" button!

Mike.

EDIT:  OK, got it, just had to figure out what the star was for.  Now I know.

Looks like Bing and Google maps.
