Re: Silverton - Loop at Chattanooga
| January 10, 2010 05:50PM |
I hadn't looked at the Silverton Railway maps too much until you mentioned it. The loop at Chattanooga is interesting and something that I didn't know about. It will certainly be something new to check out on my next trip. The one long spur is also interesting. It seems like that would have been a significant grade if I remember the lay of the land correctly. I would have though that it would have to be angled further east for a more gentle grade.
These maps for the Silverton are something that I have wanted for a few years now. Up until this point I had only found small scale maps that weren't very accurate and rather useless for overlays. Unfortunately they were done in the later years and there isn't coverage beyond Red Mountain.
