I live in the York Pa area and am looking for any maps of the local railroad(s). I know this area was part of the Conrail system and I have an overview of the Conrail system but I am looking for a more detailed local map.

If anyone can give me sugestions I would appreciate it. If the internet is sugested please include specific site addresses. Thanks.

MAPQUEST.com also has arial photos of the country (unless you look for military installations) I've looked at my local yard on mapquest.

You might try the DeLorme Gazetteer. I have them for four different states. It shows all railroads, even abandoned lines. Well worth the cost.
