Railroad Maps from the 1945 Official Guide - Compiled by John Barry
I received an email today that was a forward from John Barry (His Blog). In his blog, he has given a link that can be used to download a pdf of Railroad Maps from the 1945 Official Guide. There is over 200 pages of information that he is letting fellow modelers download.
