In an off-center segue, does anyone know of a good source for older large-scale
detailed railroad maps, preferably in hard copy or easily printable if on-line?
After asking the question about the Litchfield line, I remembered I had a very
well used, worn and generally falling apart 1947 Rand McNally RR Atlas that
clearly showed the line as "GN" (well duh...!), but it has the whole state on a
single 8.5 x 11 page so is pretty useless for the lines around big cities like
the branch being discussed. When Sam McCoy and I chase real trains I use the
Delorme Gazetteers and would highly recommend them. They are invaluable for
finding that "Bob's Road" (a movie line) to get to trackside in the middle of
nowhere.
But (to my knowledge) no one makes or publishes something comparable in scale
and detail for say railroad's in the 50's, 60's or 70's. Just wondering if
others have any ideas or resources? On-line is O.K. but not the most useful
when you are bouncing around on "Bob's Road" and so far I have not found an
in-car GPS device that responds to: "find the abandoned Milwaukee Road E-L
right-of-way in Wells County, Indiana"!
Just wondering if others had solutions or if anyone on the group chases the "12
inch to the foot gauge" stuff...
