I model the P&R  in the 1900-1905 era.  I obtained a 1903 P&R operating rule book and transcribed the majority of it into a word doc, to preserve and share it.

I have attached a copy to this blog post.

If you are familiar with post WW1 timetable and train order rule books you will note some differences.  I call rule books from this era "international" rule books because all the examples of train orders  use international capitols as the station names (... run extra Berlin to Istanbul...).

Enjoy.

Anyone with resources for realistically modeling earthen fills? Specifically I am looking for info on the slope angles that are used by railroads when making fills. I searched MRH without much luck, though I found a few photos. 

I have one scene where I want to feature the track curving through the scene on a tall fill with a dramatic mountain scene on the backdrop photo, but I need to get the fill right or it won't look good.

Thanks
