Where are you from? (with a new twist)

[Anonymous]

I could actually show you my house if I got a link from Terraserver...[8D]

I won't go that far though, instead I'll find a route map of the GM&O or Chicago & Alton...[^][:D]

Here's mine

I'm in the northern area of this map. In the Bottom Left you can see the UP owned WSOR operated mainline, which is now severed about a half mile past main street.

This idea is "fresh from the garden", Garden Railways forum that is.

I know we have done the whole where are you from thing before, but the twist comes when we link to a map of the area. No need to go down to the street and house level, just the general area.

Here is where I live. It's about 15 miles east of St Paul. The dashed line on the map is actually the Union Pacific's Altoona sub division. I live almost dead center on this map.[:)]

Sorry, the link is so long and it doesn't like to wrap around. For those who don't know how to post a link to their map, it's very easy. Click on my link, find your map, and copy the URL from your browser. Then just paste it into your post. The forum does the rest.
