Got a great NG present

So I got this package and it was pretty heavy, It was wrapped like a salami but way to heavy for that. I unwrapped it and to my surprise it was somehing NG! It was a complete set of maps showing the right of way from Chama to Antonito! They are called the 1919 ICC Valuation Maps and show tons of detail. There are 26 pages in all and they come from the Colorado Railroad Museum. I was only interested in the Chama to Antonito (Cumbres & Toltec today) portion of the D&RGW but they have a lot more maps. Enjoy. Russ

Sample piece of one of the 26 pages:

Man, what a great way to start a year. I enjoy RR maps my self and can never get enough of them.

May all of our narrow minded buddies have a great New Year.

The current project is a ON30 20x40 trip from Chama to Antonito in the summer of 1940. Sooooooo these will come in very handy. We will of course be taking a great deal of artistic license but its good to know exactly where the water tank actually goes in relationship to the siding for example. Its really hard to tell from just photos. Only problem I'm having is getting time to use em'!
