In studying the maps on pages 2-3 and pages 8-9, I find errors on pages 8-9 that are correctly shown on on the inset, e.g.Willbridge Jct. the inset is correct as the track north to the P&W was built after the merger of GN,NP,SPS et-al. <br /> <br />Pages 2-3, Forest Grove Jct., the OE (BN) line was the main line from Salem to Portland for freights and the track is reversed from actual. The track from Merle to Forest Hct. actually curved to the South East. Many sidings are not shown on the map on 2-3. <br /> <br />The map on pages 8-9. There are at least 4 tracks at Union Station to load/unload passengers to/from trains. The bridge is Fremont Bridge. I-405 doesn't extend beyond I-5. Albina is actually the district just south of Albina Yard. On this same insert map, the area marked as Downtown Portland is actually the Pearl District, an area where the old Hoyt Yards were located and now being turned into atownhouse area. The yards have been removed.
