Southern California Map

For you train lovers out there. I am looking to track down a poster or large sized map of the current railroads in Southern CA or CA in general. Showing who owns what line.

Does anyone know where I can find this?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Until the "cable guy" from San Diego comes along, these should help-

Click on "map" here and walk it across from S Carolina.

Welcome to the forum. Actually Dale I don't need no stinking maps, I know the whole state

.

Seriously though, haveing lived all over California I do know the state quite well. And being a railfan I know where most lines are. But I do carry an Altamont Press timetable with me and that has maps. I highly recomend the AP timetables for any railfan, especially for understanding what you hear on the scanner. But get them while you can as the producer Rob Carlson died not too long ago (a tragic loss to the railfan world) and unless someone steps up and continues to produce them.....well............

Chad,
The AP site says they are not taking any orders. Is there anyone else who sells AP items ?

Not that I know of. I always picked mine up at the hobby shop. I really hope someone continues to produce these as they are absolutely fabulous resources.

And congrats on your 5 star status!!!
