All,
Please remember that the Sanborn maps were made for buildings, use a second
source for track, I have found many wrong. Buildings and data about buildings
are correct. These maps were used for insurance purposes. Track was never
covered by insurance and is only a depiction. Again, use a second source for
track and if the second source disagrees with the Sanborn map the second source
is correct and the Sanborn map is wrong. User beware.

You might try some of these.
