Steven, thank you very much! The chart is quite helpful (even if I
haven't figured out all the abbreviations yet).
Do you (or anyone) know if someone has copies of Q track charts for
sale, or if they are available online somewhere? I am modeling select
portions of the Q from Galesburg through Beardstown and White Hall to
Wood River, and I have been trying to extract grade and track info
from USGS maps and online aerial photos, the only resource presently
at my disposal. Track charts would sure be quicker and a lot more
accurate.
Thanks again for your time and assistance.
Regards,
Stan
