    I need a new map

    I want a more current map of the railway system.

    I need Virginia and surrounding states.

    One that has road crossing numbers.

    All bridges must be labeled.

    It would be nice to have all spurs....active and inactive....but not necessary.

    The one I have is current...in 1968. The main routes are the same....the crossings are different....and the weird thing.....no compass rose.

    Any ideas?

    I've searched....and can find many decor type maps....and a few specific route maps.

    My contact at the RR has retired....

    Echo let me do some digging. I don't recall how current it is but at one time I had a link to the rr system. I'll make an effort to locate it.

    But doesn't have the info I want.

    I'd love to have the power lines marked too....but DHS may have issue with that.

    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    If you know which rail company is in the geographic are you are interested in, suck as CSX or NS, go to their website and search for a system map. You can also search for historic routes on now defunct line. Ther are also old Confederate Railroad maps available online which may help.
