Hey, all.
Sorry I can't join you in Altoona. I was
just out there a couple months ago. It's a shame to see Conrail go, but if
you look at those NS engines with your eyes crossed, the black and white almost
looks like PC. (the difference is there are no track joints creaking, and
the equipment is maintained!)
The ICC should have let this happen 40 years
ago. There would still be a Pennsylvania Railroad (and probably a Central,
too)
Anyhoo,
I am writing to let you all know that I have a
complete set of 1941 PRR accounting department maps, that break the system down
by division. I have scanned in a number of them as jpegs. The
originals are 8-1/2 x 11, and have the specific divisions shown in red, with
connections in black. Pretty cool. Every station is marked.
I'd send a sample here, but they are pretty massive and take a few minutes to
download. (I scanned them in color to get the map markings, and the "old
paper" look eats up a lot of bytes.)
If you are interested in a particular map, I'll
be happy to zap one to you directly as an attachment. Again, these are
from 1941, and show the system at its pre-war peak.
See you...
Lee
