Jay,
You may have trouble finding Carracas on a regular Map. Carracas was a D&RGW name for a siding just west of Gato. The San Juan trains would meet around 1:00pm daily. The Carracas siding was just long enough to fit a San Juan into it. After the San Juan were discontinued in 1951, the D&RGW pulled up the siding and took the name off the RR Timetable. I don't know if Carracas made it to regular AAA Maps.
