Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
QUOTE: Originally posted by mudchicken Kansas City to Detroit is roughly about 750 miles by railroad... (1) What tiking is not going to get is a set of railroad track charts (i.e. schematics) for rhe surviving lines. Non-railroaders won't get those ever. Most would not understand the bulk of what they are telling the reader anyhow. (2)Getting ICC val Maps for that section would set you back about $8000 if you could purchase them from the railroad for at least 200+sheets or more given typical railroad cadastre. Being the size of the order going to a non railroader/surveyor/engineer, the Feds will right over to see you with a one way ticket to Guantanamo in hand. (3)Getting the more outdated version of the ICC Val Mapsfrom Archives II will put you back about $10,000. Then we get back to what you think is "very detail"[?]....Do a better job of forming your question Stick to Terraserver, Norfolk Southern's website and a few old timetables, the rest is beyond your reach and none of your business anyhow.
