Bruce Kelly Paul, that April 2004 Trains profile was intentionally simplified. The B&A's summit was actually about three miles east of Hinsdale, closer to Washington really. The site was marked, at least in Conrail days, by a sign which read, "TOP OF THE BOSTON LINE...1,459 FT A.S.L."

It is referred to as Washington Hill but according to my Conrail track chart of the line the actual summit is in the town of Hinsdale, a couple hundred feet west of the town line.
